POEM STARTER
Submitted by Its_Ady
Write a poem about a bird who was once human.
Even now, it remembers what it was like to have hands, to touch, to hold, and to feel. Now wings beat where arms once moved, but the memories never fade.
When I Was Human
I remember the days
The haze
Of life in a maze
Of rights being wrong
The unbroken song
While the broken danced along
Oh how those times
were never mine
Never fine
Oh how I cried
And cried
When she died
Life with a wife
When I was human
Bound by strife
Oh how the knife
Should have taken my life
But grief
let me fly
Gave me wings
when I cried
Now I am a bird
Without the burden
Of this world
Yet still
I mourn
Those days in the haze
Oh how the tears flow
For my time in the maze
