Pride Poem by Bob Blackwell
Pride
A secretary bird has
Pale grey feathered top,
three quarter dark black pants,
below long pink slender legs,
wings make bustled skirt, within
a grey black bordered tail,
Its tasseled head has orange face,
grey blue bill, and hazel eyes.
He gives a pompous grin, head
turned up, he parades, he struts,
a slow flamboyant stride, that says
I am the most superior bird.

Bob, I loved this poem. The last line. I am the most superior bird. Lovely way to finish this short, but majestic piece. Given it top marks. The description of this superior bird was great. A gently flowing poem. Thanks for sharing it. David
