The Canary | ||
~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. |

I think the authors message is the canary needs help!
Jackson, I think they both needed each other. By helping the bird she was also helping herself : o ) Mrs.Goins

Drew thinks this poem is narrative and a little lyrical. The reason why is because it has a little rhyming and it tells a story. I noticed that it was a parody of "Mary had a Little Lamb". The feeling that the author makes you feel is friendship and trust in your friends. The author's message in this poem is to have more trust in your friends. The author also might want you to have a little friendship with your pets too. The author included lines 15 and 16 because if you do something nice to a friend, they will do something nice back.

This is lyricle because it rymes. Elizabeth Turner's feeling was happy because she talked about frendship. The author's message is if you want people to treat you good than you have to treat them good. To talk about friendship.
