Penguins are fascinating birds; their habits and actions seem so human-like at times. This picture particularly struck me.
Birds of a feather
walking hand in hand,
we’ve traveled together
o’er many years spanned.
Lovers, companions,
’twas always the plan,
so we joined as one
‘neath glowing twilight
of the setting sun.
Not even foresight
could have foreseen
the wonderful life
we have shared and seen.
Written in the spirit of Robert Frost and Dante, I have adapted the terza rima.

Thank you. And I thank you for adding to my vocabulary–onyons. I love it and the fact you chose to compliment my poem with it.
Thank you. I think many couples who have been together a long time feel this.
Like the picture. Love the poem.
