"Elegance"
February 14, 2014
My long, curved neck
Covered with pristine, sleek feathers
Each feather gently coated with a layer of oil
I am the picture of elegance
My strong, outspread wings
Flapping to lift me from the murky, wat’ry dell
Leaving only ripples upon the mirrored surface
I rise with elegance
My curved, beautiful beak
From which no sound shall ever issue forth
A silent avian, a quiet sovereign of the sky
I roam with elegance
My dark, deep eyes
Whose gaze pervades my peaceful realm
The realm of this swan is benign
And I am the essence of elegance
