Victor Buhagiar Poet Rhyme

To Be a Bird

Visions, above fluffy white clouds, 
I would have as a bird,
And spy upon the fairy crowds
That frolic among stately pines.
Eat milk, cheese and honey,
Fly round elves and the Queen that shines.

      On to the beach littered with tents 
      Oh if I were a bird,
      Follow games and summer events.
      Love children playing in the cove,
      Bring on spades and red pails
      Build fine sand castles in a grove.

Back to the hills to croon again.
Oh if I were a bird,
I'll join my friends sing on the plain.
A choir of melodious song.
A lyric of grosbeak,
Thrushes, robins, we'll sing for long.

Alexis Y. October 18, 2020 at 3:19 PM Hi Victor, I enjoyed the carefree vibe of this well written write. I don’t know if I ever imagined being a bird or not, however as a child I often found myself flying in my dreams. I remember the feeling to this day, I felt so free and I didn’t have a care in the world. I think you captured that “ feeling” in your write. Best wishes in the contest. Enjoy the rest of your day my friend:-) Alexis
