Mockingbird

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   May 1, 2007


The sun shone bright through her window,
To the bird outside, she whispered a sweet hello,
Stretching, she'd get dressed to a beloved song,
Of a brown-backed Mockingbird all morning long.

Sunrise and sunset, that little bird would sit,
Singing its little heart out, it would not quit,
And the summer had passed, when September came,
The bird would mock a voice, calling a name.

Sitting and waiting, for the girl to come back home,
To whisper good morning, to a bird left all alone,
And the moving trucks came, carried her boxes away,
To a storage unit in town, labeled: "Jessica Gray."

And that Mockingbird bird, with tears in his brown eyes,
Still sat silently, waiting, from sunset to sunrise,
But in his old age, his final days were now gone -
And he had no audience there, for his final song.

    I went ahead and did this poem instead of solemn flowers because it is in my contest...

    Okay, I really liked this poem. It was sad, of course. I believe it has many meanings that could come from it, and I love poems like that. because, they're much easier to relate to. This poems flow was quite amazing, along with the rhyme scheme, and emotions portrayed.

    You did a wonderful job; keep it up.

    Ah well done. first of all i loved the title. that made me want to read it. and the ending of the poem was so strong.

    And that Mockingbird bird, with tears in his brown eyes,
    Still sat silently, waiting, from sunset to sunrise,
    But in his old age, his final days were now gone -
    And he had no audience there, for his final song.

    ah gee. it was great. well done and keep writing. 5/5 always, David
