Quetzal Bird

Quetzal Quetzal if I set you free
Then would you please sing for me,
I know your days are few
For a caged bird only sings the blues,
Though I yearn to gaze upon your emerald plumes
I know your place is in an island paradise,
Quetzal Quetzal please don't cry
For I will do all I can try,
For sake of value
Many wish to view your rainbow hues,
Never did you ask to be a prisoner
Nor should we dictate how to live,
Quetzal Quetzal do not fret
Soon you shall be free

About this blog...

All poems posted here are written by myself, and I hope the ownership of my work will be respected.

I am 25 years old, and have been writing since I was 8. All poetry is dedicated to the teacher, Miss Charlotte, who first introduced me to this genre of writing.

Challenges

I use several writing prompts, mostly photographic prompts, for my work. Often when I am not consumed by a thought or emotion, I need a little help in writing. I subscribe to two photo blogs as listed further below for prompts. I also take challenges to write about random words on my Twitter. A new challenge I am using is from Deviant Art. I look at the first page of the most popular photography in the last 8 hours and take one to write about.
