Broken Wing - (In Memory Of Janis Joplin)

By kojak24

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I'm like a little bird with a broken wing sitting in a tree longing to be free. But no one will fly with me! My Poppa bird left me and our babies in a lonely nest. Oh God! .. please give my heart some rest from this aching in my chest. Oh, where did Poppa bird go? Did he go South for winter? He left one day and didn't come home for dinner. I'm so alone with no one to fly with me, no one to fly with me. The babies cry and ask when Pappa bird is coming home. What can I tell them? It's goodby to Poppa bird. He won't be home again. Yes, I'm like a little bird with a broken wing sitting in a tree. There's ... no one to fly with me no one to fly with me no one to fly with me no one to fly with me © William M. Sowman Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 12:21 PM PST   0 • 1
