Azure
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
Azure was glad to be joined by the macaw, several small jumps along the branch betraying her impatience. She was excited to see where the exercise would take her, letting her instructor's amusement overtake her. When he posed the question she took to the air, as if getting a better look at her leafy opponent would provide the answer.
She embarked with enthusiasm, but as she came around the tree trunk, all she could see was the threat of being swatted out of the air. The small of the back, where it can't reach with its lumbering tree hands. She decided, finally. Maybe I'd peck at a chunk of thigh too.
She landed back on the branch next to the bigger bird, pecking the bark once to simulate a half-hearted attack and blinking at the macaw. Then, once I've made it mad..., she gingerly tapped her foot on the branch, Honestly, I'd just fly off, she concluded, reckoning that that was altogether the wrong answer to the riddle.
