Enough With the Chitter Already

As if it’s not enough that I must share this little stump of wood with you, my friend, I have to HEAR you! How much must I bear before you have me going round the bend? Although we are the same birds of a feather, the way you chitter on, I'm turning cuckoo! I can’t believe we still do things together, and this comes keenly from my bird’s eye view! Please don’t be the “little bird that told me!” Go find another bird that “gives a tweet.” You’re going to burst my bird brain, Twiddle Dee. I tweak your beak with one of my clawed feet!

Andrea Such a creative and silly write. I like how you made the bird almost human in its conversation and actions. Nicely done. Thanks for the awesome comment on my Hoarders poem. I am honored you want to Fave it. Hugs

Haaaaaaa! cool Job your personification, Andrea. Polk salet is a natural growing almost complete meal, that Arkansans eat every spring. It is very tasty treat, and grows wild everywhere in Arkansas. The stalks can be sliced, rolled in flour and fried. The leaves can be boiled and served like Spinach greens. Also taste like Spinach. The stalks taste a bit like fried okra. A very good mild laxative. Agape, Moses

A fun but still earnest enough write, Andrea. Parrots are great with mimicing, but it's doubtful they'll know all they say. You're wise, Andrea...who are those people coming into "who is online", that have no name or poetry? Yesterday I felt brattish and started commenting to one...then a poem appeared..lol It was a first poem of that whoever...but seconds before it was given a vague comment...now I'm as curious as ever Love, Mikki

* “Sooo Very & Funny” * but perhaps maybe not for the one being a bit perturbed possibly yet * late last eve i heard a pretty bird talking outside my window * i smiled because i always try to behold the connection between * “All of Creation” * and then in my minds eye i turn and i blow it back into * “The Skies of Heaven” * where it all truly belongs * “Lovely Poem Beautiful Andrea” * hugs and kisses * kisses and hugs * sarah
