Definition: any__of the family ___, having a<br />
compact body and short legs<br />
by Ella Jackson, 9c<br />
As if,<br />
no,<br />
They do sense my fear,<br />
my panic when when they Swoop down from nothing,<br />
right past the hysterical head,<br />
not bothering to respect my personal space.<br />
Under that bridge, that bench and in the branches<br />
clumsily trooping around<br />
bobbing their heads<br />
monitoring me with those beady eyes.<br />
And, oh, those inconvenient children!<br />
You run into that army unit<br />
and send the vermin<br />
right towards the quaking body.<br />
Those plump, pesky, peeving, provoking poultry<br />
they set my teeth on edge<br />
and make my blood run cold.<br />
Oh, that Flap, that dreadful Flap<br />
They must thrash hectically to stay above the ground<br />
I anticipate them coming and drop,<br />
duck<br />
Pun not intended, for I refer to<br />
The Pigeon<br />

Your cloudy language<br />
Seems to hide and harbor<br />
Half of your hope<br />
Half of your purpose<br />
Half of your heart<br />
Lingering in haziness<br />
With the potential of lightning.<br />
I never anticipate<br />
A revealing wind<br />
To unveil all things hovering<br />
And obscured<br />
In the air between us.<br />
If only.<br />
