My Wish

 

I wish I can be a bird with lovely wings

Having a voice mellifluous to sing.

I would ascend up and soar

And chirp to appease my core.

I would look down spell-bound,

I would wheel and whirl around.

I could travel the whole planet

With none of my money spent.

I would see all so minuscule

And I needn't go to school.

I would be inquisitive to see the planet

It would be flabbergasting, I bet!

I would love to taste the clouds,

I hope it would be luscious and I can chirp out loud.

I could take a glimpse of the sun so sultry,

Or the beauteous moon when the clouds are murky.

It would be wondrous to be a free lark

Who could sit tranquilly on the bark?

 

I could make animal friends;

It can be a predator, it depends.

I could gaze upon the gaudy flowers

While sitting on the hoary, concrete towers.

I would fly with consummate elegance.

I could fly way ahead of the spiny fence.

It would be lovely to be a bird

And have joyance up above the world!

 

Enthrallingly, I could swing around the stars

And look at the headlights of the cars.

I could swiftly enchantingly move around

And make euphonious chirping sounds.

I would love to meander around the emerald trees,

Talk to the amber, buzzing bumblebees.

I could sing lovely songs and melodies

And I could see eggs wee.

I could sluggishly raise my wings

As royal as the lavish kings.

I would have warm, azure feathers

And fly around enjoying the weather.
