If birds could bark

Alaina Kimble

High School Freshman

April/May 2023


It'd be funny if birds could bark,

owls yip in the forest dark.

The defensive growls of a territorial seagull

or the mighty yaps of a proud eagle.


It'd be funny if birds could woof

as pigeons whine on New York roofs.

While geese of Canada howl and wail

American robins wag their tails.


Our parks would be a lot louder

if a bird’s shrill song had a dog's power,

but if birds bark relentlessly in the streets,

what if dogs knew how to tweet?
