Rule of Thirds

I've moved through the 
Chitter-chatter and it sounded 
Like one of those things 
That should've mattered.
I ignored the blatant reds 
And all that was said,
All for a human that seemed 
Righteous and utterly bold,
I was unflinchingly told 
Not to give ears to the feared
And too all those who meant dear.
I was blinded by the unsettling 
Festival of kites to have 
Unseen the unusual hawk;
There was no hide and seek 
But all clear and neat, so neat 
That I don't find the words,
The bird was never in 
My rule of thirds.

How far your poetry has come since you joined WOL Manish!
The piece above is unrecognizable from your earlier work. Well done sir!
