Notes About The Poem

Regal Bird Regales

End Line Rhyme as a                        Footle 
What compels every life to be         alive
It is best to feed themselves to          survive
Sunlight and water nurture the             flower
Enough to sustain and give it                 power
Like the winged bird that flaps while         humming
Some saw it as an expected                    coming
And as it thrust its long beak                      sweetly
slurps while wings flap swift and holding       deeply
