Notes About The Poem

A Parakeet Green

A parakeet green that I named Eugene
and early in the mornings he will stir
chirping and flapping his wings in a blur.
It is quite a wild energetic scene . . . 
I swear, I do not give Eugene caffeine
from this bird-   I needed a silencer !
      A parakeet green . . . 

Lively and bouncy like a jumping bean
I cannot, his spirited joy-   deter
and I am for sure no bird whisperer . . . 
He gives kisses-   and a love unforeseen!
     A parakeet green . . .

Linda Alice Fowler November 22, 2022 at 7:22 AM Just great Constance! We used to raise parakeets when I was a kid. I loved all the beautiful colors, but they were quite talkative. Congratulations on your win! :) Constance La France November 22, 2022 at 11:07 AM Linda, thank you so much for the visit, comment, congratulations and compliment, appreciate ! Parakeets are beautiful like flying gems but oh so loud.

Ann Peck November 21, 2022 at 10:01 AM Love your parakeet poem! I had a pair of lovebirds, but turned out they were both male :) A black mask, who said lots of words and a Peach, who just blabbed. :) Different sources. Congratulations!
