Yellow Bird Wth CatTail

Folder: 
!! Short

I dreamt of

a little yellow bird

with black spots..

instead of tail feathers

she had a cattail


Author's Notes/Comments: 

perhaps the cat who kills
the bird becomes
a bird in her next life?

Oh Anna,

It's about time you wrote something somewhat appropriate for this site that does not include your rantings and ravings on your personal political views.

I find your dream interesting because it says alot about you. Birds in a dream are generally a good omen. But your bird was incomplete. Cats are considered a bad omen indicating treachery and deciet. Tails of domestic animals indicate domestic happiness. Yellow forcasts setbacks and struggles and black is the most unfavorable color to dream (unless dreaming of a funeral).

So here's how I interpret your dream..you are happy with yourself but you feel torn. Are you the good bird or the bad cat? can you be both? Your political rants are treacherous to loyal and true Americans (and you know it) and you are decietful by trying to hide them on this site dedicated to poetry. Frankly, we are tired of them taking up space on this site.

Granted this site isn't full of gprize winning poetry. Some of it is really bad, and there is a lot of it from young people that can't even spell but at least they try. However, I have found some wonderful poetry here and made good friends through it too.

So try to write a little more about what you dream and try some poetry instead of politcal propaganda and maybe you will find some peace within yourself and not be so hateful, angry and anti-american.

If you don't, you might end up more cat than bird.
