Must poems always be about love, or hate? <br />Must they always mention God, or fate? <br />I want to write a poem that's new <br />But something you can still relate to. <br /> <br />There once was a bird, sitting upon a limb. <br />A small, baby bird; his mother behind him. <br />He peered o'er the nest, to the ground far below. <br />His mum, she pushed him off, and watched him go <br />Down, down, further still, until he hit the bottom <br />The baby bird was just an egg, one that had turned up rotten.<br /><br />Elizabeth Sheaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mundane-topics/
