A Clever Little Bird

Lathen Griffiths



A clever little bird

learned to sing a song of hope

so they set for it a trap

and caught it with a rope

then stuck it in a cage 

to hear the song it sings

but it never sang no more 

of the hope that freedom brings.

    This is quite nice. Reminds me of Langston Hues.

    Aww, this was beautiful and sad. We shouldn’t cage things just because they are pretty or sing a pretty song. So true. Thanks for sharing, I loved the brevity of this.
