Stormy(M): blue Australian budgie
Picasso(F): green Australian budgie
Apollo(F): sky blue dominant pied Australian budgie
Little budgies can be soft and sweet like cotton candy
Or loud and annoying, like a megaphone stolen by toddlers
Their beaks are little knives, pricking my skin
And wings are sheets of paper, fluttering in the wind

A caged bird is a prisoner in a dark, empty cell
Clipped wings, like weights, holding them down
Flying, to them, is walking through a field of wildflowers
It is happiness, it is joy
But when they try, they fall
And they realize
Flying is pain, flying is suffering
Flying is impossible


I made these poems. I like poetry a lot, so I'll be posting more poems I write on this thread.

A VERY rough draaft:

Goldfish are like little water puppies
Who like to swim and eat shelled peas
They watch me while I’m doing my studies
And swim gracefully and with ease

People like to stick them in little bowls
We will give them horrible plastic plants
We feed them fish food that is ten years old
And do not cycle their tanks in advance

Goldfish are mass bred and bought on impulse
By children browsing around the pet store
When the bowl gets dirty they are repulsed
But their parents still buy them many more

Goldfish deserve better treatment and care
They deserve to live without being scared

I read the first one and now this one and they're so great! πŸ˜„ Can't wait to see it published!
