This poem is in Virginia Algonquian a.k.a. Powhatan. Here it is in English:
BIRD
Spring, it is sunrise
I sit like a stone
A bird sits on my leg
Seeds in my head
“Hey Mitch, what’s this poetry thing all about?” I want to collaborate with Blue Öyster Cult and I’m hoping the Öyster Boys will think this would make a good lyric.
Did you know I wrote a paranormal/mystery/romance book inspired by Blue Öyster Cult’s lyrical themes? Click here to download it here for free!
