Best Ostrich Poems

A bird of grandiose stature, he struts the veld
do not anger him for his powerful kick
can main or even kill. Gently he watches
over his brood their mother left long ago.
It falls onto him to incubate their eggs.
  
Impressive wing span as he shades his...

"The Ostrich" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the 
Republic".

Oh, did you know the ostrich is the world's largest bird?
It lives in Africa in a small group that's called a herd.
An ostrich cannot fly; instead it gallops on...

A Limerick
About
An Ostracized Ostrich
Written: by Tom Wright
7/22/2006

An ostrich, which was Sue so dubbed
Thought surely she had been snubbed 
Though given wings, a pair
They wouldn’t lift her to air 
Leaving her to think somebody flubbed

Trust an airborne Ostrich like myself with clean wings as the boar
I have seen the lion sing and the songbird roar
But I stood in disbelief behold the bald eagles fly
Above the firmament’s heights implausibly the bald eagles ply
I have seen goats eat fish before nonchalant...

Pence told his boss, "I can't do that!
Though Rudy has it all down pat!
But I have my pride
So I'll go and hide
And hope the GOP won't rat!" 


n,b.   China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia
are hoping Americans will choose 
a President who will stick...

O ostrich my ostrich Hey Struthio camelus

Organised demonic widespread terror
Taliban’s view - they’re heroes and martyrs
But for Afghan citizens, all their hopes deplete
Freedom and dignity laid at their conquerors feet

Each nation in their cozy cocoon, looks the other way
Humanity is oblivious to blue skies now turning grey
We are all interconnected, have...

As we sit and watch,
    shake our heads in disbelief
         thoughts buried in sand...

Ostrich


Born to be a fighter; I chose to pacify.
Loved the only women I could have; love is a lie.
Same old story, repeated a thousand times.
Pretty please, no longer tease; I need a love that will never die.


They say yesterday’s music is just the same old...

"Any fool can turn a blind eye but who knows what an ostrich can see in the sand." Samuel Beckett, Murphy


The ostrich sees as if it's on drugs
And the colours are more than you can see.
The colours you see on colourful mugs
Are nothing to what...

Ostrich syndrome, fears freedom
Choosing self-hypnosis
Not quite the pathway to wisdom
Death by slow osmosis

Stagnation stifles soul
Touch divine, makes heart whole
With zest, playing life role

Delusion spawned dome

People call me ugly,
And other hurtful names,
I'm often ostri-sized,
My feathers used for games.

They say the Ugly-Duckling
Grew up to be a swan,
And though I'm still but very young,
They ask me What went wrong?
I'm left here on my own-some;
And feel so sad and blue,
Well, you would feel...

Here we are trapped and bound
By evil forces difficult to fathom 
Here we are naturally endowed 
With all of God’s blessings 
While 133 million of our children 
Wail nightly on empty bowels
Confused and traumatized 
Where the next meal will
Come from
Our eyes are wet with tears
Tears...

Ostrich baby, thank God you cracked open at last
I wanted to help you, but other mothers were looking
I cheered you on silently as mothers must do when socialized...
