My bird

The beauty of the odd

She is an odd bird

This one

Her sense of humour and whimsy

Only ever so slightly outdone

By her intelligence and regal beauty

A smile so wide

As wide as the Nile

Her hopeless optimism

Her ever so present fragrance

A laugh so chipper and uneven

So viral and infectious

And as witty as the day is long

Masterfully crafted by The Maker

He sure did take His time with her

And rightly so

You are an odd bird

A rare bird

My bird


If you liked it, give it a ❤ .
