THE BIRD
By Danny

(This poem is written in a "Wishing Bone Narrative" hence the "wished" It is more of a dream state in which whatever I wish comes true. This was my first poem and for that reason it has sentimental value. It may not make sense but... WHO CARES!!!)


One day I saw a bird on her wing
She flew to a branch and began to sing
The song was as beautiful as could be
And thats when an inspiration came to me
I "wished" that bird into a regal gown
And brought her to the fair in town

I "wished" the shoppers all around
to see the beauty I had found
I "wished" my bird to dance and sing
And feel the happiness it would bring
When the music was over and done
I "wished" her to sing another one

But when the song began to fade
I knew it was getting very late
So I "wished" my bird to go on her wing
And maybe another day she'll sing
I went on home and started to cry
because I had forgotten to say goodbye
