Little Baby Magpie

Little baby magpie, chirping in a nest.

I hear you from the window, while I’m trying to rest.

Little baby magpie, who cries for your mother.

I know your pain, can we comfort one another?

Little baby magpie, hungry and alone.

Have your brothers left you? Have they flown far from home?

Little baby magpie, can you sing me a song?

It’d brighten my day, I’d love to sing along.

Little baby magpie, one day you’ll leave.

I dread the day it happens, but know it’s meant to be.

Little baby magpie, grow up strong and brave,

You’ll be fine on your own, I’ll send you off with a wave.

Little baby magpie, fly away from here.

I’d join you if I could, but I’m stuck, I fear.

Little baby magpie, my only friend.

Do you know my pain, why I cried at the end?

Little baby magpie, you’ve flown away now.

Little no longer, you’ve grown much stronger.

Stronger than I, still stuck in my cage.

Stronger than I, you’ve grown so brave.

Stronger than I, I miss you so.

Don’t go

Please don’t go.

Little baby magpie, you’re not a baby anymore,

You’ve flown so far from here, it’s a feat I adore.

When I’ve grown stronger, I’ll join you and fly away.

But for now, I stay stuck in my cage.

Big shining magpie, will you sing with me?

(I’m not used to writing rhyming schemes so I’m open to feedback on this one too.)

yeehaw !! more FISH POETRY for the collection !!!

I heard a word that fits so well

A story in my writer's well

It is

A word that in a world long froze

Describes their final curtain close

For in

A world in which the sun is dead

A force appears of scorching dread

As their

World is cold, when suns return

They do not warm, but burn and burn

This word

Though for songs of mornings bright

Also tell of mourning night

And though

A simple word not for me made

I think I'll keep the word 'aubade'

[author's notes:

I was looking for some alternate words for 'sunrise' because of some OCs I had made, and found a word that fits their story shockingly well!

If you have any questions about said OCs, btw, feel free to ask! I really like the concept behind them. No pressure though! /gen

I quite like how this poem turned out, though critizism is very welcome! Poetry isn't exactly my thing anyways, so who cares if it's not perfect or if one person (you) doesn't particularly care for it, there are so many different styles of poetry after all! Also, I'll never improve if I dont ask for feedback on both positive and negative ends.

*cough cough* definitely didn't rhyme 'well' with itself in the first two lines-- nope! not at all!]

WAHOOO another CHAPTER of john and lillys poetry corner !!!

Maybe the piano in her mind plays a waltz Perhaps something classical, perhaps something operatic

A flick of her tail, a twitch of a fin Gesturing to an unknown partner

Her scales shine like jewels as she twirls As if touched by Midas, with how she shines

She spins again, sparkling of pink and green And with a cry of encore, I leave her to her dance

By @jo1sstuff on tumblr.

[author's notes:

My pro-fish poem so that Lilly will forgive me about the Fishing Trip submission. If possible, post before Aubade so that she'll forgive me enough to listen to it.

As usual, criticism is appreciated; I did write this in just one morning after all so there's probably room for improvement. I like how it turned out though, and I hope Lilly will like it too.

Fun fact: I actually took two attempts at writing a pro-fish poem, this was my second! I didn't really think the first was particularly 'pro-fish', but more 'neutral-fish', and it definitely needs a bit of editing before I submit it. I somehow managed to write it in only one evening despite it being more than seven times the length of this one though, so that's fun.

Also, @yourstruly9489 drew some art for this poem:

As you can tell she is better at drawing goldfish than me, though tbf I didn't use a reference.]

ohohoho. i had FUNNN with this one >:)
