Or Rather-Who we are

A poem for my country that was published in my school yearbook.

Or Rather-Who We Are

Lulu Forshage

My talons are sharp as pencils.

My feathers are coated a chocolate-brown.

My head-as white as snow.

I am the bird of my country.

I stand for bravery, liberty, pride, and honor.

Who am I?

I swim through the air.

I linger in every classroom.

I am older than any person alive.

my law states that I am to be higher than any other.

My colours are red, white, and blue.

Who am I?

My posture is up straight and tall.

I could swear I'm taller than any mountain.

My accessories are a crown and torch.

I was given to my country by a foreign friend.

My faith happens to be for everyone.

Who am I?

Have you made an inference of who you think I am?

 

Or Rather-Who We Are?
