When my uncle bought me a gift, it was something I had to bury.When I opened his Christmas present, I received a dead canary.He put it in a cage and wrapped it on the first day of December.
Cheery as this beautiful bird of nature,Which can easily find its food.Cheerful as the bird of paradise,Which gives hope to the destitute.
The bird
Its owner is quite happy though.
Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,
I watch him laugh. I cry hello.
Darling, you love me
And yet, I love you more
My angel, you like me
And, but I like you more.
To the bird that found its way to me,
For me to see its beady black eyes
That hide no emotion, and can't dare cry
Because that's only for the weak and broken.
When i was stumbling
in the dark,confused
and crying out for help,
this friendly fello seemed amused;
And while i fought like anything
to keep the candle lit
he cheerfully reviewed
Fly bird
High bird
In the sky bird.
Down bird
Crowned bird
In the ground bird
Hop bird
Lace bird
Missing wings birds.
You know that train I was talking about?
I think it took a wrong turn
Cuz now i just feel misplaced
Like i don’t belong here
Learned the word humble long after the meaning was lost.
Just another product of tax payer exhaustion.
It hurts when referred to as perfect by the person that hurt you the most.
But ima keep it humble
Learned the word humble long after the meaning was lost.

I walked out onto my verandah one day,It was at a place I’d gone to stay.You wouldn’t believe what blocked my way,It was a bloody big Funnel-web Spider.
I walked out onto my verandah one day,It was at a place I’d gone to stay.You wouldn’t believe what blocked my way,It was a bloody big Funnel-web Spider.
Nestled alongside my roost of books and blankets
I wonder where you have gone to
To the south perhaps? But it's already mid March and snow still continues to fall
Dreaming under the rainbow
Crash from the high
There’s a tear upon your face
But do you remember why you cried?
Dreaming under the rainbow
Where are you?
You promised that you’d stay with me,
There once was a traveler from a distant land,
She traveled to the mountains and the sand,
One time she traveled to the furthest peak,
Long rigid legs like chopsticks
Riding the seas got seasick
Snapping your snout like click click
You are a sandpiper, not a sandchick
The trees illuminate with a brilliant radiance,
shadows of bushy branches break the sunlight,
and birds sing songs to neighboring beings.
The air smells of something sweet
like the best parts of nature.
A bird with a broken wing
Its memory of greatness;
A stretched canvas of warm embrace
Air cut by swift blades of persistence
Unobtainable freedom by many,
While the few idolize their grasp of identity:
Little WordsCreate the birdWho flew so highHe touched the sky.And when he tumbledTo the sandNo one heardDespite the birdWho got back upAnd tried again.
Your eyes were like a tired sunset,Shining with a soft amber light,Seeing the beauty in even the ugliest of things.
It was a dreary night when it had happened,
I was craving the sweet release of death,
And I'd been wanting it for a long time.
I had grabbed the red and blue pills,
Gazing at them with true desperation in my eyes,
I, travelled amongst the jungle
Searching for a rare species,
Which people would call em' the blue bird.
My eyes open wide to the sky up above
the chill in the wind blows through me.
I open my arms at the sight of a dove,
but the pearly bird confused me.
Dipping out from the cloud-covered sky,the Tree Swallow returns to nest, surrounded by a thousand of its kind,the sultry summer air brushes off its glossy, blue topaz back. Like an arrow from the quiver,it plunges down from its nest hole, almost
A delicate balance, strong and frail
Warm and shivering, held in the palm
Hands that cradle and try not to break
On the edge of destruction, a startling calm.
She has no wings that can be seen
A delicate balance, strong and frail
Warm and shivering, held in the palm
Hands that cradle and try not to break
On the edge of destruction, a startling calm.
She has no wings that can be seen
The girl:
Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, fly.
Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, fly!
Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, why?
Do you stay here?
Why can't I just be a bird,
that reaches up to the sky looking down at all the views and always free to fly?
Why can't I just be the sun,
A bridge among barricades
A bird among bears
Love is free, love is peace
Trust from a tired heart
Energy from an exhausted mind
Love connects, love supports
Once upon a time, there was a bird who spoke of love
My nightingale believed in love, this magic she spoke of
Knowledge and philosophy is my true power
Perhaps one of my worst traits is dreaming I dream to leave behind my soft spoken nature To demonstrate confidence I dream to hear the waves of Applause surrounding me. To have the people on the edge of their seats I dream to prove those who call
Well if they knew that we were political,
We'd be done for.
Because they helped build new york
But people from new york are broken themselves.
And in spite of their open arms
My heart becomes a stallion that swiftly passes through the immense field of green,
Her eyes are but a doorway hidden from all men,
The look she gives me as I pass her_inhaling her attractive scent,
If I could draw my feelings, that would be one thing
But I cannot
I have no feelings
But maybe that just means I feel too much, or
Think too much
Very true indeed
To take away,
with the accordance of a fowl,
the flight of a child
is not the loss of air.
The wings that protrude
from the back of your aims
are the soul that keeps one on fire;
With college approaching
My sanity needs coaxing
Musing my future-
A dry, beguiled form of humor
Waiting. Debating. Suffocating.
It's the epitome of a plight
They say is only finite
There once was a little bird
Who just wanted to fly
“Spread your wings and leap,”
The other birds told her,
like bird afraid of heights
Or night losing moon
and
stars
In her eyes
Your heart was always
mine ..
-Jordan Jessie
Chirping together with singing,
I awaken to the act of being
Calling my name to begin the day.
Calling me away
From the past of yesterday.
While all my problems fade
I wake up, Redeemed.
I awake, birds cherping.
I awake, beautiful Sunrise awaiting.
I awake, songs of Worship playing.
I awake, blessed with another day.
I awake, imagination flowing.
They Come.Flapping their feathered wings.Mocking me in their bizarre language of squawks and gibberishCircling like vultures above unsuspecting vesselsSearching for scraps. If one brings out food on a boat, They Come. They Come in their vast numbe
I am the bird of the weeping
willow. I whine and sway
I cry at bay.
I toss, I turn – I yearn, I wish.
And whisper to plead,
set me free from the swaying,
the willow that whispers.
I wish I was a bird.I could fly far away and never come back.I would finally be happy, and this depression I have I would finally lack.I would soar higher than any bird has before.
I wish I was a bird.I could fly far away and never come back.I would finally be happy, and this depression I have I would finally lack.I would soar higher than any bird has before.
this bird is cool now
Actually it is not
the bird is now fine
I have the power of a lion
but you allow me to be a bird
locked up in a dark space I sit
I am a bird
I am free to fly wherever I want
But I choose to stay in my nest
There are people out there who's job is to hunt
But my nest is the best and I choose not to stray
I love my nest
The boundless days
The sun beats down
The silky waves
Is the sweetest sound
The creeping wind
The green palm fronds
The effortless sway
Is the sweetest sound
Small bird
at my window
sitting, singing, looking
in -eyeing my lunch crackers greed-
i-ly.
By A. Gagliardi
The red wings flew
Carrying the words of the people
They went far as the wind blew.
And it caused a ripple.
Let’s set flight on Demacia’s Wings!
Valor flies in and carries your team.
The might of Demacia is shown as he flies.
The light of Demacia glitters in her eyes.
What have I become?
All I want to do is lie
somewhere,
on the soft and
unbroken earth.
Feel the pulse of mother's womb,
hear the coyotes calling,
wade into a cold
rushing river
Caged bird
I want to roam free in the wild
I’m scared
I want to experience the world
I’m scared
I want to know love for the first time
I’m scared
Those who don’t know me call me weird
Those who love me call me a bird
I spread my wings up and I set to fly but then I realize I still have awhile
The black bird hiddenA crow, dark as nightAmong the willow branchesCascading to the groundA song so mournfulFlat and broken, a puzzleIncomplete.
I am a bird meant for flight,Beautiful plumage and a mind to the right.I am fed lies of fame and money,I am the bird of milk and honey.I want to act and I want to sing,But maybe "lawyering" is your thing.
A young falcon looks up at the sky
Knowing that someday she will fly
She is treated miserably
I don't know why I like the things I do,I especially don't know why you disapprove.
The moment I smile and claim my happiness,
You were a bird
Free, fragile
He was a vulture
Cruel, devious
You were a storm
Somber, dark
I'm bird caged in a human body.
I'm only can be free in my mind.
Where all my dreams can come true.
The music never stops.
The stars can be seen all day.
And my love is always next to me.
Heed younge starling eager for flight, tender eyes no sight.
Your limbs so slight and feathers so few what can become of you?
Harshness awaits with hallowing winds chaffing against the night.
I shall teach my heart not to sing
like a hooded falcon, quiet and resigned to the jesses.
To let my heart soar,
I tell myself, would be a fearsome and frightening thing.
Once I spot my prey
The news rang in my ears
I didn't know how to accept it
"She's brain dead"
I hear it over and over
A constant reminder
I can still see your face
Hear your voice
Promising me I'll be okay
And the whippoorwill twilled,
While over rocks water spilled,
Green grass in the fields blew,
And sweet lipped Mocking Birds o'er head flew.
To be heard
like the songs of a bird
filled with happy hamonies
and mellow melodies
A letter was on a page
part of a word
part of a conciousness
flowing out of the river of ideas
ebbing from the
lake of creativity.
The letter vibrates
through the air
I held a bird in my hand
Palms cupped together
Fingers interlaced
While he shivered
Heart beating faster
Almost throbbing
As instinct fought to free him
From the cage
One day I'd like to see,
A bird fall in front of me,
Twitching swiftly on the ground,
Squirming churning without sound,
Till all its bones and body stiffs,
Till there's no more life in it.
When we die,
We'll fly like birds in the sky,
Together till the end of forever,
N' every soul in death is the same,
With a story to its name,
N' these bird all cry,
Singing the songs of pain n' pleasure,
The girl lies on a cot --
The girl with hauntingly beautiful green eyes.
With nothing but a battered baby blanket to cover her emaciated body.
Her feet peek out from beneath the sheet, bloody and broken,
Every day I look into the mirror and this is what I see.
Size 2 kids feet, stepping on me.
Pajaro de mi alma
Ten alas y vuela
Estas libre
Estas lleno de esperanza
Dejame en paz
Porque tu libertad
El batir de tus alas
En el aire libre
Es mas importante
I see the burning of the sky tonight,
hues of orange to light, fades of blue; dark
overcast, overnight, I tame sight.
Lion in the sky roars to lay a mark;
Seeing the heavenly fire creeping forward,
To match her skirt of scarlet red
Below a long, grey coat,
The crown of feathers on her head
Above a soft, pink throat.
Below a long, grey coat
To the black and white minstrel
Capped in red
Drumming a ballad of beat
In a forest ballroom with ceilings of leaves
Capped in red
Autumn trees stand tall
If I had the power, I would help a baby bird to fly. I would teach it how to use its wings. I would catch it if it fell. I would make it believe in itself. If I had the power, I would help the mother on minimum wage.
The sultry cicadas sound the alarm,
Warning with sweet nodding crescendos.
Robins, ravens, and warblers leave their base-
The forked pecan tree across the street-
And head into enemy territory.
If I could change one aspect of me,
It would certainly be to be free.
I sprout some big wings,
Get shoes with some springs,
And take to the air like a bee.
I am a baby blue bird, drifting to the soft sands of Rio de Janeiro, while lying dead on a dilapidated raft with all cares in the world left forgotten by my bedside.
Sit in a dark room
Hear the beat of
the bird caged in
Your Chest. It
wants out, to be
free of its dark and
sad prison. Feel
the caress, feathers
against the bars
Running
Running
FUNNING running
Funneling grape soda and cranberry juice through a lemon squeezer
Why not?
It’s all pointless anyway.
Birds fall out of the sky like
The sun rises rises in my soul. The rays dance and explodelike lyrics hitting the ear. I am the song. Illusionsshatter like glass. I morph into a dazzling tapestry of shadow and light. Thesetting sun no longer reminds me of death.
How beautiful the crow is as he sits up in the tree,
ruffling up his feathers while staring down at me.
His gaze is unfaltering and at me he continues to stare,
I can see what he has endured and the pain he can bare.
On the very brink of reality,
Hanging on the edge of safety,
Tweet, tweet, tweeting up, up high,
The in and out breaths, the deep sigh,
To jump or hop back to the nest?
Wings clipped, hope busted, dreams shattered,
My cage is worn and my clothes are tattered,
I’ve reached the end of my rope, I’ve lost,
This used to be bubbly and warm, now I’m frost,
The sounds of a sweet bird; lively, buoyant, and free,
The sounds of a bitter bird; bleak, melancholy, and confined.
A forgotten baby birdfeathers greyfeet unstable
Stranded by the waterborn alonebarely breathing

Little bird,
Your voice is heard.
I see your tears,
I understand your fears.
I will fight for you,
But you must fight too.
Little bird,
You mean the world to me,
“All I need is a red rose
To see her dance upon her toes,
But in my garden there is none,”
The student cried up to the sun.
Lying in a nest above
Sat a bird inspired by love.
Upon the autumn's lighted day,
Perched upon my view, I say,
Singing songing was he then,
Ringing autumn's leaves away.
Standing sturdy on the tree,
The tree, to me, still sound asleep,
The sky is the limit they say, yet I havent seen it in days.
Loose paper and pen, sorrounded by men.
Trying to make it through these years, with fears.
Never thought I would end up here, I learned to hear
I write because I fight with words. I write because when I write I can be heard when there's no one else to listen and nothing else to do, not a verb else. When I write my sentences are fragmented but my thoughts are complete. Through.
The partridge swings happily in the tree,
For some reason it cannot see,
The death day is drawing near,
And the partridge doesn't show fear,
A cat awaits from afar,
Sitting at home on a hot summer's day,
A pen in my hand,
What in my poem could I possibly say?
There on the balcony the blue jay sits,
His feathers shining beneath Nature's light,
In the night, I heard a songbird sing.
It was such a sight to see the most beautiful thing.
Every night, he would flap his wings and then, start singing.
Your words sound as sweet as the morning dew
and yet thy words play with my gentle heart
too innocent to unveil what flew through
thy humbling failures cast us apart
A small bird I am doth sing my tune
They don't kow the tears I cry,
They don't know the life I have,
I have wings and I can fly,
Going by my own path.
I seem weak,
But I am strong,
Very sweetly meek,
But not for long.
Today is a day
That I will dream
I will dream of undreamable things
I will make up words
I will make up songs
Even if the world doesn't want to sing along
To the clouds, hawk says,
"You are what I dreamed to have!
My soft and white bed!"
Fly away from here the keeper said
Don't look back all you'll see is death-
Death to a dream that is yours...
Fly away and don't look back
Just keep to your destined path
What if you were a bird, my dear?
What would happen then?
Would you decide to fly off one day
never to return again?
An extremely lost
Bird flies high up in the
Clouds, flies in a
Daze, but
Eager to be
Found again.
Golden feathers top its
Head, with golden plumage flowing like
The sparrow sings a brilliant song,
But no one sings along.
Ebony sat upon her wing
Making it hard to sing.
Steadfast as the morning dew,
She will chime in without cue.
Louder than the stars above
I had a canary once
Every morning it would sing
It was the most precious thing
I cherished it for months
My name is Eden.
I am not a garden, not even a flower.
I am a shell, a husk, a vessel.
I hold in the pain of those closest to me.
My pain doesn't stay in this body.
It escapes through the cracks and pores.
