Canary (Poem)

CANARY

Locked up within bars, my pet companion
Imprisoned in your world, with so much song
Bright yellow, you are so full of mellow
With musical notes of harmony
A sweet sound of a sincere melody
From vibrations of your silvery string
With this gentle sound of a vibrant ring
Whistling through the air, in your caged prison
Chanting away a soft sweet cheerful tune
Songs of an opera forever merry
Each day, making me so very happy

Bedtime (Poem)

BEDTIME

Night sprawls within his body
The earth a sleepy man lies
Under blanket sheets of shadows
Wearing his nightgown to sleep
Silently at rest, he sinks in his mattress
His snore the whispering of the swaying trees
Breaths of night wind, in his nocturnal whistle

Daylight (Poem)

DAYLIGHT

A ripe lemon floats the horizon
Squeezing juice a foundation of colour
Daylight is scarlet drops
Orangeade spills the land
From horizon flourish yellow
The trees dye with their leafy shade
A sea of the azure
With the rays from cobalt
You plant your violets
