A Predictable End

The lovely thorn bird

in truth so aptly named

death is his destiny born

a tragic ending

impaled on his home of thorns

sad and predictable end...

Sad for that bird. I don't really know much about this. It reminds me of the movie thornbird. Now I see why they used the bird's name for its title.

Hello Andrea, Absolutely loved the book! I never knew about these birds until I read it. Such a beautiful and yet tragic part of nature. Glad you liked the poem honey, nice to see your little face. Thank you for your kind words. Love, Shar
