Analysis of Little Birds and Carousels
john mckiernan 1953 (Australia)
falling leaves and whispering trees
the spoggie now feels ill at ease
perched so high if not by chance
a sun beam yields a new romance
the carousel a grey cloud looms
lifes ups and downs you left too soon
the park bench creaks a statley home
if i had wings you'd not be alone.
