Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge

July 8: Flash Fiction Challenge

What is it about feathers
That has us looking for angels?
I can see one falling in front of me
In my garden nearly every day
So where do the white feathers come from
Are they hidden beneath their wings?
I cannot say I have ever noticed
Maybe angels do fly over head
I remember mother saying
That the only feather that matters
Is the one you catch in your hand
This brings great luck
Have you ever tried catching one
Dancing on the wind?
Turn around and back again
Still, it lands on the ground at your feet…

    Beautiful writing Anita! I like to think this symbolises that “luck” is there for the taking, if only we are brave enough to reach for it.
