I went to court today, for the third time since November. I was a witness for a reckless driving case. I am the only witness. Every time I go, nothing happens... It feels like a side show circus. I even saw one gal, with fingernails like in the show Dexter. Yes, I feel like I need to soothe my ruffled feathers, a wasted day. I being the Thursday gal at Poets United, posted a prompt #88 Feather. YOU should visit, lots of inspiration between photos and poetry! Stop by and check it out~
Here is my take on my prompt ;D

Here is my take on my prompt ;D
patterns of human. by ~stickbugs
The wrinkles reminded me of feathers....do you see what I mean?Frozen moments float
gravity falls in lunar dust
time's wrinkle folding
graceful sheer wings stroke
Galileo's beguiling dance
Dark trailing edges
silent wings stroke beguile
swooping talons dig
quicksilver moon winks and nods
intuitive vane says go North
The Feather by ~SnowDwarf
Immortal ashes
between fingers of sheer light
skeletal strings fall
dance of gold and crimson glows
horizon wrinkles time's plan
"Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time." ~ Jean Paul

Your life reads like a story book! you are an amazing gift to all who have the blessing of being touched by you and your words.
Blessings~
Dreadful for you having to spend your time hanging around in a courtroom, but I truly believe good people must be willing to step forward to help, or the whole system of justice, in your country and in mine, might grind to a halt.
I say this, though, having never been in the position you're in, being a witness, a juror, etc., so I am, perhaps, not really entitled to an opinion.
So...I can offer sympathy, if not actual empathy or understanding, okay?

But your poetry is beautiful.

Enjoy the weekend .. cheers Hilary
Feathers mean a great deal to me (as you read) Yes, would be lovely to hear your thoughts on what you'd commented. :)
Your metaphors and imagery in this poetry has elegant beauty. Subtle yet stunning.

And thanks for the picture and book tags...so very pretty. I got them all in one piece. Thank you ~
I enjoyed each of your tanka and images, very nicely done. I see the resemblance, too, in the feather to the hand.
I wrote to your prompt 88 yesterday, I spent the better part of the afternoon, tripping down memory lane. Great fun! Thank you.
I am happy your had a great trip :D
Thank you~
I will comments in the morning and make my rounds! I know when this storm will strike, around 3am. It has been thundering since 5pm!
Thank you for posting such a beautiful poetry prompt.....
I feel so lucky when I see a feather, especially one simply fluttering to the ground. I feel that it is a sign from my mother...
Mother's Day here on Sunday :)
