A Bird Song! Poem by Ramesh T A

Whistling jack is none
But Magpie Robin bird!
Robin is Nightingale,
Skylark and Mynah too
All in one bird to woo
Birds of its kind for love!

“Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo! ”
Sings he free at dawn,
“Night has been surmounted;
Day break has come too;
My region is still in my hand! ”

“Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!
Lady birds listen to me
Appreciate, criticise or reject
I am the master of my map! ”

“Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!
Kikee, kikee, kikee ……..!
Kickic, kickic, kickic …….!
Kichoo, kichoo, kichoo …!

In four different ways he sings
To create the impression of four
Different birds singing to woo
And attract his creature birds!

Also, a long whistle he blows
To make his voice heard in
The whole long area of his
Establishing his mastership!

Attracted and feeling safe
Beautiful lady bird approaches
Near to Magpie Robin at last
To mate and live together ever!

There ends the love courtship
Of the master Magpie Robin
With his lady love bird nice
To lead a happy life long!
