Sara Kendrick Poet Free verse

Different Shades of Purple

Far away at the break of day, the Peacock spreads his beautiful feathers.

While the Purple  House Finch
Feeds its young from my feeder
To him life is a cinch
Until the cat comes as a reader
Of those birds, which he is a seeker

The Mocking Bird sings
Because hidden with nest_eggs
Escapes fast cat's swings
For nest rest in rose trellis
Clever this fellow and mean

Purple Barn Swallow rises high
Above this stress greater than the rest

Christopher Flaherty May 2, 2011 at 5:38 AM Hi Sara The bird color purple and the human color purple may have different meanings but in the end they probably correlate to stress with or without. Cheers please read movie i thought you might like it.
