Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.

I've never heard of this bird before. So pretty! Loved your poem!
Its great to know how to tell them apart from a female by their red belly
I've always been a sucker for birds with green Afros, lol. Seriously though, cool looking bird!
