This is for Mikeydred's April Prompt and Natasha's poetry prompt.
It is the International Day of Multilaterism and Diplomacy for Peace, established by the UN to promote peaceful relations between countries.
With that in mind, the dove flies in. Help him live as he should.
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
A dove with darkened wings flew
Wore a tight scarf of black hearts true.
He traipsed on a wire,
Set clotheslines on fire
Claimed, "Darkness is art, I knew!"
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
But one day he slipped off the wood
Of a tree branch, on which he stood
He landed near trees
Where olives meant peace
And decided to live as he should.
