Best Parrots Poems

SPIRITS OF THE PARROTS

Two parrots, one red, one blue,
share one large, rotund zoo cage,
just the two of them.
There are plenty of perches,
yet they sit on the same one,
close together,
looking over a feast 
of fruit and seeds to share.
They make no noise,
as if in silent prayer
before...

The words sound so sweet
imitated by parrots
Like baby babbles...

Country taught man read;
Man repeated propaganda;
To build up the cage....

ruffled parrots bloom

wind brushes soft fringed feathers

july clips their pink wings

They are amazing!...

The vast caribbean forest is beautiful
while parrots sail the aqua sea, 
and claw into the jungles, rich and ripe,
to ravage the orange mango trees. 

Wet from the rain, together they preen
stopping to keep their lovers clean. 
A concert of beauty, red, yellow and green, 
and...

On the patio I can see the chameleons
Their necks so red with lust
On the wind the green parrots
Call to one another hoping for a place to rest
The sky is orange and deep purple with the last whispers of light
Twisting the orange peel in my drink...

With notes shredding ears homicidal,
contestants squawk madly to sidle
despite what they lack
they keep flocking back
to die on American Idol....

Full of colour and so very gay
my voice it can be very shrill
keep me happy so i won't stray

See my feathers all in array
I sit and watch upon the sill
Full of colour and so very gay

Keep that beak of mine  at bay
I can use...

Parrots on a branch up in mango tree

Red rose Julie hangs behind green leaves

Eyes on the prize  beaks and tongues adore

Who’ll taste it first  before it ripes and fall...

He cried
after she held him.
(He had told her 
this wasn’t his first time.)

Back then the window had been filled
with parrots in the palm trees.
They scrawed and heeched
And k-k-ee’d.
She had picked him up 
and held him 
and they both looked out,
eyes wide,
as he called back to...

Ever since my parrot Greeny lost his companion,
he rarely warbled and sat in his cage to mourn;
his sad song indicated how lonely he was...
I wondered who could cheer him up for his loss.


I assumed that birds are ordinary pets without emotions and feelings,
that a cage...

When you growing older
The ugly parrots of birthdays 
Delightfully remind your age
You tell them shut up 
They cry out loudly
Once these parrots 
Were sweet nightingales 
Singing nicely on the early days
Twenty one
Twenty two
Twenty three
And now with a nasty voice 
As boaster parrots 
Break your eardrums...

Of parrots and parakeets, no one knows
now numbering in the thousands
no longer Mexico's bucolic birds
new urbanized citizens migrated 
to the suburbs. 

If you travel to Los Angeles and county
where hobo avians flock to Pepperdine
hoping to matriculate to paradise..
Pasadenans know the raucous calls from palms
festooned in...
