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.
Coronis
Dear, dear, boy.
You don't realise what you've done
Just because you're immortal
Doesn't mean you shouldn't run
You made me a monster
Feathers too tight
Wings and beak
Black as night
Caw caw
You'll fall
But not in love
From above
Down, down
Underground
To hell with you
My heart won't pound
Not for you
Not for him
I'm a mortal
But you'll take the hit
Damn you
Damn you and you're selfish ways
I didn't love you, I didn't love him
You thought I did anyway
I could have never
Avoided this fate
And stay true to myself
On the same day
You knew that
You took advantage
Of me and my feelings
And what I couldn't salvage
I'll fly up high
Looking down below
Searching for
Where you deserve to go
And I hope you're looking at me
With fear and regret
Down at the girl
You could never get
Because this bird
Isn't a prize to be won
I'm not an object
Not just made for love
I'm made from the hands
Of revenge and spilt blood
Not from a queen
Sculpting a pretty rose bud
