Week 1: Dead Little Bird

                  Dead Little Bird
 
A dead little bird, alone on the ground
No open window, no entrance was found
The light in his eye slowly burns out
No riding the wind- no flying about
 
The rude awakening of glass that was there
The wall, so transparent-no need to beware
So inviting the room seemed to be inside
So fatal the secret the room had to hide
 
The bird now is helpless to flee from its plight
Enemies circle and wait for the night
Once free and alone on the wing of its flight
The sad little bird is a sad little sight
 
Beware little one as you flutter about
Of things transparent… that leave only doubt
Much better the wing on the wind to be found
Than a dead little bird…alone on the ground
 
David Kettler
 
Notes: Two days ago we were startled by a loud bang on our window. After looking outside, we saw a beautiful robin lying on the patio while taking its last few breaths. We were very sad and almost bemoaned our crystal clean windows that faked the poor thing out!

    I started Monday Morning Poetry Group in April 2017 to share new poems I have written since I published my book of Poetry.
