Analysis of Little birdy

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Fly free little birdy
In me little birdy
Land on my heart
And a poem will start
To die little birdy
As a cry little birdy
A maggot in a sea
Of bleech for he
Was giant little birdy
To you little birdy
I heard on the wind
That you had been saved
