Hilda Greenhough Poet Rhyme

Sparrow

Speed. Like a blur of feathers across the asphalt.
Skimming,  just inches higher than the busy road.
Formation. Not keeping any by choice default.
Sparrow. A bird born brave, a bird born to be bold.

With sun in my eyes, sparrow flies past my front wheels.
I swerve to the left as this wild one goes right.
The sound of my tires braking makes a loud squeal,
But rash, brave sparrow keeps flying, showing no fright.

Valsa George June 23, 2024 at 9:52 PM While we were children, sparrows were a common sight on roof tops and by the roadside. They were never afraid of human intervention. Unfortunately, they are so rare to be seen now... almost extinct. So sad! Your poem brought memories of my childhood days. Hilda Greenhough June 23, 2024 at 9:57 PM We still have an abundance of sparrows. I believe they were brought from England. We have sparrows but they aren't a native species.
