Blue Jay In the Night

To love a Blue Jay with a broken wing I do not fly I do not sing I ask so much and give so little You dance for me and I play a fiddle So little to gain So much to hide To love a Blue Jay with a broken wing I do not fly I do not sing

I like this Lauren. At first sight it has a great simplicity to it but reading it again I was struck by the thought that went into both the narrative and the layout of the poem. the repete of the first stanza works really well and creates a sort of wholeness to the poem.
