This Blue Bird was given to me by my late Grandmother, Marilyn Dittloff.
Blue Bird
In yonder tree there waits for me/ A little birdie blue/ sing for me a melody/ Sweeter than honeydew.
This little birdie I love so dear/ It never will draw near I fear/ But never could I hear a song like this/ sweeter than an angel's kiss.
This little birdie I love him so/ More than he shall ever know/ But since he is a wild thing/ I must let him go.
Little, little Birdie Blue/ Do you love me too?/ Would that I could gaze upon your face/ And see your body full of grace/ All whilst wishing/ It were I who could take your place/ And fly from here to another place!
Little Birdie where are you?/ I have been searching so for you!/ You were not at play today/ Or resting quiet in your nest/ I looked in all your favorite places you love best/ My little birdie blue-breast.
Where have you gone/ And what have you done?/ My little Birdies lost/ It is a friendship I can never replace/ Of irreplaceable cost.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
