POEM STARTER
You begin to hear a voice singing to you, a voice that nobody else can hear. It slowly grows louder, and carries a sinister message.
Create a poem based on this concept. You may wish to include the voice's words and use them throughout the poem.
Dirty Bird Song
Four?
Is it four or more?
How many birds are singing?
As I sit here in my backyard
Taking deep breathes of cool air
What could sound more peaceful?
How can all these disjointed melodies
Meld together to make such beauty?
I wonder what they are saying?
What?
Did I just hear my name?
Did the birds just sing my name?
Am I understanding their song?
How is this happening?
Oh how lovely!
Wait, what are they singing now?
They want to do WHAT to me?!
With a WHAT??
Oh my!
How do birds know about that even?
What?
Oh, now that’s just not nice!
Do they even know my mother?
How can something sound so pretty
Yet be so filthy?
Where did they learn
