Scot’s Poetry Challenge is featuring the work——– This Bird Has Flown from Raven’s Wing Poetry

THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN

I
used to
have a bluebird

inside
me – this
bird has flown

and
a raven
took her place

the
bluebird cannot
live in monsoons

my
raven dodges
the heavy rains

trying
not to
drown in sorrow
