LoveBird

Cherice Witter

Free verse
Are you wondering if I’m wondering about you, tonight?
I am wondering if you’re wandering the way that you like.
Nomadic lovebird, wonder who will clip your wings…
Who gets to cage you like a prisoner and smile as you sing?
Sing sweetly your sad songs of regret and lost love
Of blue birds you left weeping when you opted for doves.


About this poem
