National Poetry Month--Day zwolf--Brevette Poems--plus a Limerick--Ode to a Mockingbird

 

Here are my Brevette poems. If you want to know what those are, go here. Here are my poems:

mockingbirds

s i n g

freedom

Christ 

l i g h t s

pathways

ladybugs

f l a u n t

spots

I'm preparing this limerick in advance. I wrote it for Sunday but it just doesn't seem appropriate for that day for some reason: 

There once was a mockingbird young

At midnight this bird would give tongue

It's song was quite great

But it just sang so late

That I wanted that dadgum bird hung

Actually I love mockingbirds and listening to them at night makes me happy. But this poem just slipped out. What can I say? I just have a warped sense of humor. I'd be much more inclined to want to hurl things a dove, because for many reasons they're completely stupid birds. Mockingbirds are smart. I've even heard one sound like a car alarm.
