OWEN: Write a sonnet about a man and a Bluejay
Amidst a grove of oak and maple trees,
A man did sit and ponder life’s great path.
He watched a Bluejay dance upon the breeze,
Its feathers, blue as skies, with moves of math.
The Bluejay chirped a tune, a happy song,
As if to lift the man from his despair.
Its melody flowed through the air, so strong,
A gift of hope and joy beyond compare.
The man and bird became two friends that day,
Sharing a moment free of pain and strife.
Their friendship blossomed in a gentle way,
As each found solace in the other’s life.
Oh, Bluejay and the man, a pair of kind,
Together, in nature’s realm, they did find.
