Pretty Birds Flocking Poem by Leslie Alexis

I saw a flock of doves approaching hills
As tall as Everest and so very green,
With herds of sheep that feed on the cuisine
Of water grass and lay in daffodils.
I saw them flocking on a summer day,
When kids were home- for they were out of school
And as the children played they dropped their stool;
I saw them flocking on a summer day:
The greatest armies to have known the sky
I saw them flock... I waved hello – goodbye.
