There's a dead bird outside my window
There's a dead bird, it's body rigid and frail
There's a dead bird thats wings will fly to freedom again
There's a dead bird outside that reminds me of me
Author notes
Hope I've obeyed all the rules. I said the line it reminds me of me because I'm so dead & stiff I can't fly to escape death either

You're not my dead birdy! You're my dead cat! Kidding! I liked this poem, hooray for repetition, now that ive stopped school and more importantly english, means that i cant remember the technical name for it. I think someone should go clean that poor birdy up! Great read ashy, congrats on the bronze trophy, you deserved it.
Love Swintha

I don't know how it reminds you of yourself, but at the least you're a beautiful dead bird that walk =P
I really liked the reversal of how people want to be the free bird, to associating with the bird that isn't free anymore, but yet again free in another way.
Excellent write Hun

A very smart poem that does follow the rules and also has a fine and true message. 
YES! We all see ourselves in anything's death.
