Pigeon – Stay in the Tree
A Christmas Story for Rezzan
Pigeon – Stay in the Tree
Why be delightful
When you can annoy a crow?
Why live in the moment
When times seem slow?
Gurgle, chirp
Why sit on a shoulder
Instead of a golden bough?
Why puff up your feather
When it’s cold here and now?
Gurgle, chirp
Sit on a stoop.
Live in the trees.
Dive for a meal.
Fly in the breeze.
Let out a silent squeal.
Gurgle, chirp
Stay in the trees
or you’ll get in trouble.
Without a branch,
you live in dirt and rubble.
Gurgle, chirp

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.
Enjoyed the rhyme and lighthearted flow!
nice piece. i like the refrain between the stanzas, and I like the nice rhyming pattern. a pigeon, in a nutshell.
A fun write, Zongrik!

Great flow! Enjoyable read.
lovely wonders, well done.
This was a fun read and very well done. Made me kind of wish I was a bird flying freely from tree to tree. Blessings!

It’s refreshing to find a fun read amongst the entries – my favourite kind, too!
great! i was picturing the pigeon in the dirt&rubble of the city pecking at all the food stubbles.
Those foods are generally made up of simple grains and nuts, which are necessary in the diet of the pigeon.
