Notes About The Poem

O, Strange Bird

O, strange bird...
          you perplexing thing, you.

       You couldn't be more different
                   from the rest;
         springing quite the surprise
               when I sprung you
                   from the cage.

               You didn't fly away!

        I expected you to, little thing

                    I sprung you,
                  yet you refused
                to fly into oblivion!

           I threw you up and away
            to the wind, yet you flew...
                 right back to me!

      A fistful of years have since flown,
        yet here you are, still grounded,
       with me, though you have wings!

            I still wonder why this is so.
