Stray Birds

Thought me had no one, Noone to take care mine, Take mine care, Before it was, Noticed your, Small your paws, Brown fur, A rat me all got, All me got, Trapped inside both, The same gutter, Rat got the me, Me got rat, Both we bored, Enough ignored, Our shared stories, Biologist and histories, Bonded really we, Shared all could we, Shared food our, We shared our food, He shared his body, Me shared mine hunger, And left was me, All alone, Me was alone, Inside the gutter. -Pavan 22 November, 2010

So is the traditional approach...
