With fire on my wings

I reach for you

With singed feathers

I drown for you

    Hopeless devotion captured here so well Poppy - brilliant!

  • This is wonderful, Poppy. I was toying with throwing in a cheeky Icarus poem last minute, but it’d have paled in comparison to this one!

    So much said in just a few lines. A great poem.

    Beautiful poetry need not always be many words. This is quite lovely, Poppy. Working on my entry, but I will surely make the deadline! ☺️☺️☺️

  • Intriguing take on Icarus… short & sweet.

  • I see where you're coming from with this, Poppy...without Icarus...flight wouldn't have been thought of. But few people acknowledge that.
