Swan (Octelle)

Rated: E · Poetry · Nature · #1921784

The poetic qualities and characteristics of a royal bird.

Symmetrical beauty abiding
Cutting through the surface, gliding
Towering head in splendour
Over pure white body so tender
Majestic in all glory
Striking those deemed predatory
Symmetrical beauty abiding
Cutting through the surface, gliding
