Cuban Sparrow

 

Hello little fella

What are you doing down there

In the gutter

You can’t stay there growing hungry and cold

Come and sit

Here in the palm of my hand

And get warm

There now don’t you feel so much better

Smashing stuff

Now go and puff yourself up my little

Cigar brown

Cuban sparrow a long way from home

I love the way you use "sparrow" & "cigar" as interwoven concepts that share similar aspects. As always, your writing ideas are so unexpected & original. The line starting with: "Here in the palm of my hand . . . " reminds me of finding tiny baby bunny in the wild, while hiking, brought it home & raised it on a bottle (when I was a kid). I seem to gravitate toward fur more than feathers, I guess! *smile* Fondly, Margie

If this is a song it must be a calypso. Excellent whimsy with a point Neville.

There is such a bittersweet tenderness that flows through your poem. Every word seems to come alive with the flutter of wings.
