I saw a robin, round and red.

“I think I’ll draw that bird”, I said.

I drew a circle for a head;

a beak and eyes of blue.

 

I drew its body, red and round;

its wings, and legs upon the ground

but then it made a chirping sound

and, off the page, it flew.

Liked this! Would love to be able to draw! (btw, d'you want a comma after wings, 2nd line 2nd verse, as it's just the legs on the ground I guess?) Rhiannon

Thanks, Rhiannon. I wish that I could draw too. My brother is an artist (graduate of Glasgow School of Art) but I've always been useless at drawing. I will make the change that you suggested. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

I really like this. Would also love to be able to draw. It's visual simplicity is charming and it's bang on the IP.
