The poem begins, strangely enough, with a parrot – namely, a green parrot, "imitating spring" (line 1). At this point, "Parsley" is told from the point of view of Haitian workers, who soon give us an image of the sugarcane fields as well. We're then introduced to "El General" (Spanish for "The General," as you might have guessed). El General is depicted as "searching for a word," and once he has found it – "perejil," i.e., "parsley" – there is an allusion to the resulting massacre.

The second part of the poem begins with the parsley, not the parrot. Now we're looking in on El General at home, as he thinks of his dead mother and ponders, "Who can I kill today" (line 31). This section centers on his mother, who was baking cookies on the day she died. El General remembers her as he feeds his parrot cookies, and as he thinks about killing soldiers in battle. His thoughts turn to the Haitian workers and how they cannot pronounce an "r," something even his mother and his parrot can do. Finally, someone "calls out his name in a voice / so like his mother's" (lines 64-65) that he sheds a tear. But this emotion quickly turns to rage and revenge, as he gives the orders to execute all who cannot pronounce the "r" in "parsley."

Her humorous characteristics despite being lonely make the plot interesting.This poem is centred around two trees that attract a lot of birds at the time of spring. The spring makes the visibility towards the trees less and one could neither see what the bird keeps on its beaks nor the patterns on the wing. Due to the location factors, many birds assemble her in the early morning such that mornings become so noisy which makes the neighbouring lady disturbed.
