I bought myself a parrot
A kaleidoscope of tropical hues
Bleeding from jungle flowers
I tried to teach her to talk:
“Pretty bird”
“Pieces of Eight”
“I love you”
“Scotch and soda”
She just squawks
She flaps her clipped wings
She makes a mess
Yet each time I try,
Each time I try returning her to the pet store,
She talks me out of it
the literary asylum
Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
…where poems and drawings breathe
Life Through A Lens
the strange and dark and beautiful
Poetry, Photography, haiku, Life, word play, puns, free verse
Poetry for Finding Meaning in the Madness
Dedicated to everything recreation!
Pen to paper
The goal is to help make people’s lives easier
Poetry, haiku, tanka, and micropoetry
Floating thoughts, A place where my beautifully weird thoughts floating around in my mind are posted.
