Rainbow Parakeet

Dark blue, lime green,
dark green, velvet red,
sunset orange, a little yellow.
Feathers flocking on the wings,
of the Rainbow Parakeet.
His sharp claws,
clasping on to his water bowl.
Flying in, splishing and splashing.
Dark blue, lime green,
sunset orange, a little yellow.
Plumage carrying him
around his cage.
His brick-colored beak,
nibbling on this seeds.
And his high-pitch voice
squeaking.

  1. Great poem! I could just imagine that parakeet standing on its perch. So much imagery, very good
