Bird Catching

I’ve been chasing
the birds of you
for so long and
I wanted to quit,
but I was too afraid
that I wouldn’t find
the birds of any
other man beautiful
enough. I’ve caught
the bird that makes
your mind, at least
that’s what I hear.
But I’ve been chasing
your birds through
this endless sky for
far too long. I’m done
chasing yours, I’ve
just caught another
person’s.

Bittersweet and growing!

The symbolism was great it added to the depth of the poem so that you projected a great deal more thought

Have to love any symbols in a piece. I'm not obsessed with symbols enough to be a symbol-mongerer (much), but again, always pleasant to see a writer use this device. You used it skillfully, too, made your poem concise, compressed, and this was an easy, flowing read - adored it!

Keep writing! :)
