Ominous Angel

Ominous Angel

 

Protective shelter like an eagle’s nest

I am some body’s angel that’s my guess

Shades of gray and colors black

Scrape me off like hidden plaque

I barely passed the apgare at birth.

Who could determine my net worth?

 

I missed the perfect angel’s test

My poor mother could not rest

Marred by my appearance, I would not date.

Scoring low at birth did sealed my fate.

A nervy thing to say;

I seek a chance to be somebody’s angel today.

 

Somebody's Angel you say, as laughter sounds

A thoughtful word could not be found.

Laughing and laughter just resounds.

It so unjust, I am alone and so detest

Am I brashly presumptuous or insolent?

 

Maybe it's disillusioned or,

Weighted beneath a cloak of cares

I catch hold with desperation

Of these fragile wisps in the air.

 

I despise of this judgment on another.
It is wrong, audaciously rude and disrespectful.
I am here and I feel blessed.
Do you have to cause me this stress?

Insulting in manner and speech
Let me be somebody’s angel, like virgin wool.
Served me up like ice bream in a dish
With all my heart I make a wish.

 

Love me and give me a chance,
Leaving my dance card crammed full.
It’s a nervy thing to say, a nervy trick to pull.
But, I'll be your ominous angel in this dance.

Explaining the Apgar Score as related to the poem: The poem was meant to sympathize with an unloved person.? A newborn baby’s Apgar Scoring is done one Minute After Birth to access the baby's overall health at birth. The baby is evaluated to ensure that he or she is doing okay. The baby is tested one minute after birth, and then five minutes later, and assigned an Apgar score. A bad apgar score may mean retardation: Apgar Scoring Apgar =Sign 2 (normal), 1=(Slow or irregular) and 0 Absent (no response); a = appearance (skin coloration) p = pulse (heart rate) g = grimace "reflex irritability" a = activity r = respiration (breathing rate and effort)

Great idea, everyone needs love, even those who seems unlovable..

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
