CHURCH PIGEONS Poised like angels on church belfries as songs from chorus bells ring, They move about steeples of Holy temples adorning their downy wings. Fluffing up their Sunday school's best to parade before their King, They bob agreeing heads in anticipation for service each Sunday brings. Strutting about their puffed out chests as church congregations sing, "Amazing Grace!" How sweet the enchanting sounds of their most reverent offerings. -Robert E. Michaud Jr.- |

Bob, This one is an interesting perspective- especially since pigeons ofthen get bad press by humans- but as in Psa 147-- let all God's creation praise Him! Good poem, David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |

Bob; this is so neat. All creatures praise His name. I love the sweet feel of this poem. Amazing Grace for sure! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ellie LeJeune |

Bob, This is terrific. I love pidgeons.... there, I've admitted it.... and this reminds me so much of our church.... I think the cooing is one of the best sounds there is. Bonnie |

 Since where we now live used to be a pigeon farm for carrier pigeons quite a few years ago, We have a lot of pigeons living on our roof tops. After awhile the sounds of the pigeons can drive one a little coo-coo. Thank you all for your kind words, Bob <>< |
