Wings

This was going to be a short story, as I rarely ever write poems and I loved the image and had so may ideas! But I began writing and a poem came out, so I went with it. It only took ten minutes and I don't know if it's any good (or simply terrible!) so any comments would be appreciated.



How BEAUTIFUL the sky is today,
I wonder how the birds can sweep away,
So swiftly barely noticing,
The wonders all around them.

I marvel at their speed,
And wish I had their wings,
So I could fly and perch up high,
And survey the World.

But maybe there up high,
Whilst they fleetingly fly,
They are looking down at me,
And thinking I am just as FREE.

I am just a little boy,
I have arms but not wings,
But maybe if I wish and wish,
And WAIT.

I will have everything.
