DEAD BIRD

Woke up this morning
Dark cloudy miserable rainy day
Please God keep misfortune away

Opened the front door
Got to pick up my paper
Typical morning chore

I bent over
Didn’t fall down
Getting harder to keep my balance
Don’t want to trip on my nightgown

I turned around and fear rushed into me
I saw a dead bird at my front door
Terror filled me to my core

What does this mean
I realized today was not going to be routine
I slowly stepped over the dead bird
Then quickly shut the door

Ran to the computer
Googled dead bird at the door

It symbolizes:
Warning
Heartache
Death
Rebirth
A failed dream
Loss of someone close to you
You are in a unhealthy environment

I wish I knew what type of bird this was
Sparrow Blue Jay Crow
The internet said it could be good news or bad
My money is on sad

Maybe I will find a female beau
Or be stricken down and receive
Death’s final blow

Will I rejoice in heaven
Or be cast down into hell
Only time will tell

I will sit here and wait for my fate
Joy or pain
Wondering who will be my future blind date
