Allison Call Poet Personification

The Mockingbird

The mockingbird, oh so still
Watching from a tree so quiet.
As I sit watching from the hill
Everything else seems so nil. 

He can only stay so long
As he begins to fly away
I can hear him chirp in song
Oh how I wish that he could stay. 

If only I was a mockingbird 
Maybe I could leave as fast
And maybe when I said the word
I could be gone just like him from my nest!
