Write your own poem !
If I had wings,
I would touch the fingertips of clouds
And glide on the wind’s breath.
If I had wings,
I would taste a chunk of the sun
As hot as peppered curry.
If I had wings,
I would listen to the clouds of sheep bleat
that graze on the blue.
If I had wings,
I would breath deep and sniff
The scent of raindrops.
If I had wings,
I would gaze at the people
Who cling to the earth’s crust.
If I had wings,
I would dream of swimming deserts
and walking the seas.
