Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition
Sunshine yellow to fire truck red - each one is unique.
I wake each day to the beautiful song flowing through their beak.
Their melodic voices echo and they rise in harmony
As they commune with one another, trilling prettily.
Flying as high as the highest star, never looking down,
Flying over peoples’ heads, in countryside and town.
I dearly love my feathered friend, as pretty as can be,
And he feels just the same perching velvety on me.
