Today I spoke With a sparrow I was in the park Just doodling on the bench Just sitting there He came down Bold and bright Even cheeky Softly on the arm of the seat Glance darting, feathers ruffling Just there…. hopping His eye full of life Caught mine Holding my stare for several seconds ‘O k’ I said ‘tell me sparrow’ ……..I didn’t know his name ‘Tell what it’s like to be so free Have no worries, have no stress No chores, no errands, no demands? He looked puzzled at my question He just hopped closer eyes blinking ‘Come on ‘I said ‘you can tell me Just whisper… it’ll be our secret’. ‘What’s it like to be able to Go were you want, to fly, to sit in a tree and watch The world go by? Looking even more confused The sparrow became suddenly alert And in a flurry was gone Searching for my friend My glance wondered to the nearby tree And saw the outline Of the grey silent shape Of the hawk Oh Dear! I thought Jon Mewett Hi everyone just called in from the corner pub. [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 03-21-2000).] |

Great poem, Jon! An original take on 'the grass is always greener' syndrome! Well done! Denise |
