    I wrote this poem a while ago out of the spur of the moment...I really like it...

    Untitled

    A sweet bird sings to all who hear
    And choose to think of yester-year
    Of months ago
    And weeks gone past
    Will burst asunder far too fast

    The whitest dove will always perch
    To those who think of family first
    To those who think
    Conceidely
    In them a thousand vultures be

    A blue jay's feathers shown with flare
    Are things all birds would love to wear
    The ones who say
    "That bird is fake"
    To him? Ignore!...for heavens sake

    A Raven's dark and shadowed hood
    Is certainly mis-understood
    He doesn't not mean
    To send you back
    He just thinks he looks good in black

    Some birds are good and some are bad
    And some give lessons to be had
    To find the bird
    That's surely thine
    You have to open up your mind


    Hope you like it
     
    Oh Dakota! This is so beautiful! I have but four corrections. Concietedly was mispelled and misunderstood does not have a hyphen. The phrase "heaven's sake" lacks an apostrophe. The verse "He doesn't not mean
    To send you back" is a double negative, best said as "does not mean". That's it though... Sorry for the correcting you... I tend to do that... But oh... It's magnificent... Simply maginificent...
