Bird-Song

Okay, I'm posting this because I don't know what else to do with it. It kind of came into my head while I was trying to take a nap in someone's room--after talking about maybe taking a poetry class, coincidentally.

Bird-Song


A bird in a bush is worth
two in a hand
but only a fraction of one in your arms.

For my song is sung
more sweetly than
a greeting of the sun.
________________

It's pretty juvenile, but that's it. On the topic of being juvenile, I made a type-o in which I used the word "arse" instead of "arms," which really changes the meaning of this poem.

Anyway... comments are appreciated.

Like I told you already, I got sad right after reading this poem. I think it was the naive hope in it that made me a little sad, which also made me think about how I am growing up . . . yeah, sad poem . . .
