Brewer’s Blackbird – Stands out from the flock;
Colored in black – Bottom to top;
A bad omen? – Superstition;
Could bad vibes be – Coming my way;
After seeing – This bird today?;
Why does black bring – Feelings of fright;
Black is darkness – Shadow of night;
Put with bad things – Shudders it brings;
Can I change my – Feeling of black;
Am I short-sighted – Empathy lack;
This bird did not – Choose to be black;
Only nature’s – Selection did that;
Nor did the night – Choose it’s dark shades;
Naturally made – As Earth rotates;
Perhaps I should – Adjust my view;
Thinking of things – With thoughts anew;
An open mind – Can learn new things;
While a closed mind – Can cause a sting;
Losing knowledge – Otherwise had;
And making possible – Friendships go bad;
So, blackbird, I’ll – Try to be nice;
Not thinking black’s – Only a vice;
Perhaps you have – A character gold;
Seeing you should not – Cause me to bolt.
