Florian Cafe: Dove

Dove

For Poetry Friday, hosted today at Check It Out, a 12 word poem I wrote for Sylvia Vardell's Poetry Tag Time, entitled Dove. I had to follow (tag) Betsy Franco's poem Crow, and it was snowing outside at the time (Sounds good).

Dove

A dove is just a crow
Covered by a foot of snow.

Great poem.; July 13, 2012 at 4:29 PM
Douglas Florian said...: Pigeons on the grass alas
and also on the bus, a fuss.

Tara @ A Teaching Life said...: It has a stateliness about it, though - more dove than pigeon-like to me. Great poem, either way!; July 14, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Diane Mayr said...: A pigeon is officially a Rock Dove Columba livia, so your photo is right on the money!; July 14, 2012 at 4:24 PM
Douglas Florian said...: Thanks Tara and yes, Diane, I forgot that a pigeon is a ROCK DOVE. Maybe there's a book in there.; July 14, 2012 at 11:19 PM
