Poetry: Wild & free

by Zorlone

  • Writing Level Star

I




I once found a little bird with a wounded wing,

It hid in my room, from a broken window, lurking.

With gentle hands I gave it a home,

and promised health and shelter to call its own.




II




It sang choruses of pleasant mornings,

I woke up from its beautiful chirpings.

It flapped it wings to show that it wanted to be,

out into the world to become wild and free.




III




I cherished all those sweet memories we had,

watching it dance, made my heart felt glad.

Its strength grew back and feathers formed,

with my able and loving hands, I adorned.




IV




I held it so weak, for five days and six weeks,

now, with tough flapping wings and the blue colored streaks

I opened the cage, this brave bird quickly flew,




set wild and free, my little bird called Andrew.

    Wild and free we'd ride our bicycles

    through neighborhoods and trails. At 10 years old

    we ruled the streets

    With the stretch of massive wings

    The lifting off for flight

    I soar among the eagles

    For me this is so right


    To scurry
