My 1st Alouette
Writing on and on,
Calling for black swan,
Which shall soar forth from down(ed) soul,
Bearing long-lost words.
That rarest of birds...
Without which, I can't be whole.
I'm... sure it is true...
Should I continue,
Free, winged truth shall arise.
Oh, desperately,
I will this to be,
Ere rising into the skies.

I am delighted by the poem and the form! Sort of happy that I’m late to the party so that I saw the revision – nicely done!
Yeah 😂, my poems get better with age!
The rhymes seem very natural here. I’ve been having trouble with them. (K)

“Calling for black swan,
Which shall soar forth from down soul,”
these lines are so cool!
thanks, Kunjal!
Actually – I just changed ‘down’ to ‘down(ed)’ to give it a double meaning 😉
