As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
Greetings friends. Welcome to Another Saturday, and Thank you very much for stopping by. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. I have had a hard time coming up with things to write. It was suggested I go back to my roots. If you have read Stephen King’s “Gunslinger”, you may understand. I warn you, this could go badly.
“Hawk” Blue Sky, white clouds, the bright, bright crimson of Prey. The man called me “God’s Gunslinger” The boy simply calls me, “David” When I fly on the thermals, they call me “Red Tail” None of them have ever thought to ask what I chose to name myself. The world has gone gray, and my feathers no longer have the gloss they did when I was younger. The boy says I may die today, and I think he may be right. When I die, it will be under the blue of the sky. When I die, I will be surrounded by the warmth of the thermals. When I die, I will have the crimson of my prey on my beak. When I die, I will die as Hawk.
It has been a very long time since I took the chance to write poetry. This one felt good to write, even if it was a very… sad subject. I hope that you enjoy the poem. There may very well be more in the future, now that I know I can still make this happen. Have a wonderful day, my friends.
