To a Rainbow Feathered Friend

Please stop that insidious squawking;
You are a parakeet, not a crow!
Most days you sing like a canary,
         like ten canaries—
                   an operatic pro!

But today you invite black birds full of haught
To roost in the avocado,
Screaming at each other,
         or just to shriek roughly
                   abhorrent in their clutter.

Or to call inanely to a rainbow
Who sits upon my windowsill,
Seeming to adhere as royal liege,
         or traitor in a cage,
                   For the truth, they must besiege.

Your bear no customable allegiance
To those of boast with starkness.
A parity you are not,
         tinted friend,
                   to those of scorn
                             and darkness.


"I wish you all the joy that you can wish."
~William Shakespeare~

"Research is never a chore, but a divine pleasure;
Learning, the language of life;
Passion, a poet’s poison."
