Folly's Feathers

I pluck its feathers mumbling……he hates me he hates me not…. Shrieking he grabs the feather its ink turning red rage quivering across a fearful truth…. We are together scratching endless words on nothingness. ©1/8/2018 Plucking The Poisonous Parrot Poetry Contest Maureen McGreavy - Sponsor

Very interesting, John. To me, it seems like the parrot is a metaphor for something that irritates you. Best wishes in the contest!
