Pub Chatter 5th Edition - January 13, 2019 - Prompt #3 - Write a poem from the perspective of a bird.

The Canary in the Sky

a dome of cloud

over the city

a poisoned brown miasma

a rainbowed ribbon slithers

in the river below

bitumal and venomous

a wind

weeps across a treeless slope

cut clear of ancient life

a rain falls

upon the land

vitriolic toxin

a sparrow knows

the unkind air

of a suffocated sky
