Poem: About that bird that sings

Written By Camille

Green left weekly recently published by poem, About that bird that sings, which I dedicate to all the whistle-blowers who have given up so much for our freedom. 

About that bird that sings

Bold and true
Beautiful abandonment
Belonging to just a few
Behold its sweet song of sorrow

Whistling at winds of change
The spotter on the lookout
Shot down by denial
Such is the disgrace

The hunter’s rifle smokes
As it chokes out that flame
The fanfare never arrived
For that song bird that whistled so true

Hello and welcome, this is Camille Delaquise, poet, musician and artist. Hailing originally from Byron Bay and now calling Melbourne home, Camille’s kaleidoscope lens captures the human experience to reveal both the intricacies and complexities of life.

As a singer-songwriter her poetic storytelling will send you soaring into a world where music connects us to the beauty of the world. Camille’s music comes from a place of being inquisitive about how the world works and a deep appreciation for language. For it is from poetry that music flows and images dance onto the canvas trying to express if only in this moment what exactly it is to be in the here and now and to be human.

In Camille’s own words; “For me poetry is a way to dissect ideas, to hold up language for a closer examination. Poetry is the formula  that uncovers the truth, identifying what is really being said and why, it is our story to tell, the knowledge we pass on. Language is the foundation from which we build everything.”

Join Camille Delaquise as she embarks on a journey of exploration, illumination and creative revelation – an invitation to witness the unraveling of truth through the transformative power of artistry.
