Sparrow

I’m a familiar bird with little shape,
Cute and brown with a lot of pep
There is nothing about me to swank 
I’m simple just how you think
Neither have graceful plumes, 
Nor blessed with mellifluous booms
But I’m the most sociable one
A symbol of joy and protection
I’m an icon of hard work 
And believe in team work
May be insignificant by stature,
Withstand every climate nature
Bathe in sand and water alike,
Sing in groups is what I like
Despite thrown into Red Book alerts, 
I serve my best to save you from pests. 
I am your little sparrow.

Sparrows are such delightful birds. I love when they chirp though they are receding in numbers now. Your muse comes as a refreshing breath of tunes by little sparrows. Congratulations on your win!

I see you as a very humble person from reading this poem, a hard worker with good ethics. I chose the parrot. what does that say about ME? hahaha. (I want to just hang out with friends in the jungle!)

This is darling Patri! I do enjoy my sparrows. They depend on me for their fresh bird bath all summer, and my husky’s shedding every spring to make their nests cozy. My best to you in the contest! xomo
