Sparrows Flying

 Mother Mary told a tale of sparrows on a fence. While after seeing sparrows. Anna  to Her God Laments. In "His eyes is on the sparrow"Micheal's hymn as I recall. Jesus said "  To worry not, for a sparrow shall not fall ". Catulius penned an elegy for Lesbia's feathered lover.Borne on the wings of sparrows, forever there to hover. Sappho's chariot  of the godswith sparrows teamed provides,gifts of flight and wonders song,on Aphrodite's ride.  Bede's " Sparrow in the hall "saw  to Christians Pagans fall.As sparrows are fierce warriors,according to Redwall.
 Sparrows bring the living deadto the King's dark halls.Hamlet found a providence, in a sparrows fall. Skelton's Sparowe's love lamentswhile in the "Office of the Dead". And in "The Birds" the sparrows sent,attack children in their bed. Through history the mothers askwhy are the children crying?And in her poem Charlotte Mew's,"They must have heard the sparrows flying". By Jove

I did not win but I had fun with it . Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I did not follow all the rules . I have always had a small rebelous streak in me ! lol By Jove !
