Matilda died today -- by just mercedes

[Vanity]

This poem is being included in an anthology by The Poetry Box; a collection of poems about birds, called Poeming Pigeons. Release date April.

I dearly love this poem ! I will re-read it ...and I won't soon forget it , which I think is the measure of its worth. It is beautiful, vivid and sad in just the right mix. 
Wonderful! --V
