SHE


SHE

She was
Strolling
In the
Park
When the
Bird
Found her.

With
Joy,
She greeted 
It.

What news
Have you
My feathery
Friend?
Asked she
With a
Spring in
Her step!

She smiled
And frowned.
She laughed
Her teeth
In anger
She 
Ground
As she 
Listened
To all
Of
The news.

Oh but
This will
Not do,
I only
Want to
Smile a laugh
Or I shall
Age
Much too
Soon.

She to
The bird
Spoke...

It pecked
Her cheek 
Lightly
And took
Off.
It understood
And promised
To get
Only happy
News...

She smiled
As she
Reached
The steeet...

Her walk 
Over
It was time
To return
Tp reality,
Leaving behind
A lovely
Fantasy!
