Eagle feather haikus #small stone 7
Haiku #1
Whisper-soft tendrils
Link seamlessly together
brown, beige and cream
Haiku #2
Velvet soft strength
Curving gently from shaft
Silent in flight
Haiku #3
Dead weight of guilt
Carrying such a gift home
I am no eagle.
Zen and the Art of Tightrope Walking 
Oh I do love the last one.
this is a Joni Mitchell favorite of mine:
“Snakes along the railroad tracks.”
He says, “Eagles in jet trails …”
He says, “Coils around feathers and talons on scales …
Gravel under the belly plates …”
He says, “Wind in the Wings …”
He says, “Big bird dragging its tail in the dust …
Snake kite flying on a string.”
Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter
I was not much of an eagle today but I did seem to drag my tail in the dust 🙂
