Fly Away

Style: Found poem, using the novel The Color of Water by James McBride. Reading the book isn't necessary though.
For: an English assignment
Warning: It's a bit creepy.

Old-fashioned and odd
We're thankful for living

Birdie, birdie, fly away

You to death, me to life
A blood sacrifice

Birdie, birdie, fly away

It's just a chicken
It's not a bird who flies

Birdie, birdie, fly away

A bird who flies is special
They'd be free again

Birdie, birdie, fly away

Any comments and stuff would be fabulous.
