Bird Talk

He's downstairs in his cage  
chirping like a real trouper 
canary ramblings,
upstaged 
by no other pet,
 he's mine.


Premium Member Sweet As a Canary

His name was Como, Mr. Perry
His voice as sweet as a canary's
   Put a falling star in his pocket
   Soon to fame did he rocket

My canary keeps a pet cat;
that used to be sat on a mat,
but now it is caged
and slightly enraged;
to the bird, it’s just tit for tat!

Canary Envy

The yellow canary
Turns green with envy,
He shall sing like a piccolo
In the soft moonlight, but
Cast his silhouette
On the stars of night

As canary sings

Canary

A silent canary
that had died 
slowly decaying inside
unsure if they can fly
not much time left
lost and alone
with no one to help
it dies silently.

Premium Member Canary

golden throat chanteuse
orange-red quill’s sunburst peel…
green chilli pet crave.

often migrates by night

I Spell a Cat - Picture Prompt

The life of a magicians cat is dread
Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary
I ended up in the darn cage instead

Premium Member A Tone-Deaf Woman

A tone-deaf woman in Tucumcari 
made a wish to sing like a canary
Her perpetual sadness
has now turned to gladness
It’s just eat, tweet and be merry!

Premium Member A Canary and Cat Tale

A clever, caged yellow canary
tricked his foe, a cat big and scary.
He flew out with some luck.
Cat walked in and got stuck.
 Silly cat should have been more wary.

Sage Bird

There once was a yellow canary sage, 
Who trapped a naughty cat in a cage. 
With feathers so bright, 
It plotted all night, 
Till the cat escaped and ate it in rage.

The canary sat atop his cage,
And thought to himself, I got you Paige!
While Paige sat trapped in tight,
Thinking about the fight,
And plotting to kill in angry rage.

  Clever jokers rename her 'Miss Carrie'

Cagey Canary

Yellow Canary on top of a cage 
Rests in hush as it turns another page  
From wild slip, it is carefree
Silence is a sight to see 
Deep, it thinks that the cat is its hostage

Contrary Canary

i have a lovely bright yellow canary
she is always angry and quite contrary
rarely will she do anything
ive never heard her chirp or sing
sharing her cage with the cat makes her wary
