Little Blue Bird

I was sent this picture and it inspired a poem. So here it is.

 

A little song bird sitting on the tree

I hear someone singing

And it isn’t me

I fly to find

 Who is singing along

A little blue bird is sitting on the tree

He is such a good singer

And so much prettier then me.

My feathers look so worn

And he looks so new                 

Will I become a blue bird?

Will I be beautiful too?

I land next to him

And he continues his song

Barely noticing me

But I knew that all along.

A little brown bird

Will never catch the eye

Of the little blue bird

As blue as the sky.

It's a little sad..but i lke it..i think that when the little brown bird makes the realization that the blue bird is in sense 'better' than him it is powerful..i like the way your words flow because it makes it easy to follow along with..i thin kits relatable as too...

Awwww- im kind of speechless- it was so perfectly written! T'was sad, but was kind of beautifully-sad (if that makes any sense lol). I can relate to this little poem a bit, actually. I would say that i am the little, well, Big brown bird, i should say hehe. I know im not at all attractive, but i do wish i was like the little blue bird tho. Wished it all the time. A heartfelt write.

the implications of this poem are quite a depressing look at self-esteem. well written for all that relate.

again, i love this. it's so delicate, and well, it feels beautiful,let alone reads that way.

This is a very moving poem with depth beyond the obvious. I think we've all felt like a little brown bird before, but what we don't realize is others look up to us in the same way that we look up to the blue bird. :) Good write.
