I'm not really a poetry gal, so when I saw the week's theme I kind of felt uninspired. However, I decided to just look for a children's poem that would inspired me to create a sweet whimsical print. I hope to have achieved it :-P · · ·
The Canary by Elizabeth Turner · · · Mary had a little bird,
With feathers bright and yellow, Slender legs-upon my word,
He was a pretty fellow! // Sweetest notes he always sung,
Which much delighted Mary; Often where his cage was hung,
She sat to hear Canary. // Crumbs of bread and dainty seeds
She carried to him daily, Seeking for the early weeds,
She decked his palace gaily. // This, my little readers, learn,
And ever practice duly; Songs and smiles of love return
To friends who love you truly.
