Verse Poem 17

Hello all,

I get married this weekend, which is very exciting, so here is a little poem I wrote about a bird I saw in my backyard before it flew away. Anyway, let me know what you think about this poem, if you decide to read it.

Best,

JCO

Ruffled Feathers
The yellow yolk eyed
Ink blot black bird has
Spectacular specular
Reflection (misdirection
Of light) shining bright—
Its tail and torso
Caped by a more-so blue nape;
Its head a dream of purple
Sheened plumage pristine,
This branch perched beaute beams—
Until the ink blot bruises
And fuses black with blue breast,
Hemorrhaging its chest
Screeching a request
Unknown, and chirping, flies off.
