Best Allegorybird Poems


Bird Vistas

A bird in a cage; your inner demons will rage
A bird in the air your dreams cannot pair
A bird on a ledge; your losing your competitive edge
A bird in the tree is no fait accompli
A bird in the nest; all aspirations laid to rest
A bird in the mound; your tactics are not sound
A bird on the pond; your fleeting visions will abscond
A bird on the ground; all hope is not yet drowned
A bird in the hand; your gratuities are panned

Derogatory Tern's

long legged huntress like secretary                                                                                    
some having vanished without regrets                      			              
follow that bird at least I said contrary   				       	
			                                                                                
with regrets some like bitterns and egrets                                                                        
terms corrupt also shikepoke to skid row                  				 
they flock together I would not rather                                                                              
foul names come from fowls among marshy green grow                                                  
with speech like this would not miss a feather                        			
								 
foul names come from fowls but for night heron's that stinks                                               
flight for now well that is for the birds                                                                               
follow that bird whooping cranes hope they don’t go extinct            		   
as for me at least I said a word

Rolling Waters

Part 1

    The sun reflects
the sunlight
     as it dances upon 
the water
   a sea - bird wings
its way 
    Over 
     the 
   rolling waves
Our small boat
   will only keep
us afloat 
     for a short time
Let us 
   learn
  the secrets of
  the deep
before we are finally 
engulfed

Part 2 

Do not ask 
     what you must 
    see in the 
deep waters of the world
   Poseidon himself 
couldn't tell you
   what is the newest and the best
in our world
as it slips down 
   into the waters
On the shore.....

 Part 3

.....a small bird hops along 
on the sand
     let's face up to the changes
Let us catch fish 
    before they swim 
out of reach
  on our small island
we will have a veritable feast
If you want to understand
    then don't weep or
laugh
   Rather, breathe 
deeply of the salt air
leek up at the heavens find an auspicious day
     Set forth for parts unknown
