“Wounded Bird” Is the name of a poem I wrote in 2007. It tells the story of a bird with fractured wings who tries to fly. Thanks to the love and support of his family and friends, he is able to overcome his fears and fly again.
“Cat Got Your Tongue” is the name of a poem I wrote several years ago. I never owned a cat, but I tried to capture all the unique things about cats that make people love them. “What’s the Matter? Cat Got Your Tongue?”
