The Poeming Pigeon

In The News

We live in a world where access to breaking news is available 24/7. But how often do we go beyond the headline? What happened next? What was the impact on our fellow humans across the globe? Can we learn? Can we change? Can we make a difference? We invite the world to read these poems and start a conversation—perhaps one that is way overdue.

Sample Poems:

Take a Knee
by Jane Yolen

Take mine, I give it freely,
though it’s hardly worth the bend.
Filled now with metal,
worn from years of dancing,
fencing, walking for justice,
standing on vigil lines.

Take mine if you will,
though you will find it stiff
from trudging at night
to comfort babies, grandbabies;
from watching for birds, bobcats;
Standing on podiums giving lectures.

Take mine if you can.
I may have but ten years
more use in it anyway.
If it can support justice,
bring comfort to the distraught,
help the weak walk, lead the poor to work.

Take it if it can help children run,
students cross streets,
the poor to stand tall,
pickers kneel in the field,
union men and women long on lines.
Then take my knee indeed.


On Hearing News of the Massacre Of The Children
~ After Milton’s “On the Late Massacre in the Piedmont”
by Veer Frost

To remember, not where I was
but what
a child is

Still mostly soul
in sudden hummingbird halts
and starts
toward embodiment,

And how the rambunctious light
out of a child’s skin
comes and goes
back in

As if it has two homes
and need not choose
between the springing cowslip world
and migrant heaven.
