A Little Bird Told Me

(idiomatic) I received the information from a source not to be overtly exposed.

I met a little bird once 

Its feathers dark as night. 

I swear it was a dove;

Although you may not believe me,

The little bird told me 

That the strangest things 

Can happen when in love.

Author's Note

This is a short poem I wrote that can be interpreted in any way. Instead of reviews for this poem, I'd like to see your interpretation of the poem (I know it's a bit choppy). I appreciate it!

Oh, how clever and witty. I feel that the protagonist is so much in love that he or she mistook a raven for a dove, the bird who told her "the strangest things can happen when you're in love." Just one correction you could do is in second line change "it's" to "its."

I appreciate it! And thank you for the grammar correction. I guess I didn't catch that.

I loved the first 4 lines of this poem. After that I lost the flow so it lost some of it's quality. I do like the imagery and meaning behind this though. I think with some editing this could be a masterpiece. Right now it's okay, good even, but it has the potential to be great. Unfortunately I don't have an interpretation for you. I was too distracted by the loss of flow after the 4th line...Thank you for sharing though, I hope to read more of your work.

You're right about that. When I was writing the poem, I was really contradicted about the flow. Thanks for the review! I'll try to find someway to fix it!

No problem, send me a read request when you edit it, I would love to keep up with the progress :)
