Black Bird

Silently the rain falls
Young bird won't you fly away?
Mommies gone, sisters gone and daddy too
Black bird won't you fly away?
Stuck on a broken branch,
You shiver and wimper.
The wind bites your skin
and cold air fills the sky
A shiver of fear surrounds you 
But yet ...... you remain still!!
Black bird won't you fly away? 


                                                                                                          -AMG.

Anthea Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
