Bird

Rating: 3.5


leave
at dawn
search
for food

lovely
nicely
heartily
bravely

lively
adorably
diligently
patiently

confidently
passionately
expressively
continuously

lively
toughly
cheerfully
gorgeously

in evening
fully food
fly home
peacefully

why can’t we
follow it
struggle
for life

quite an insight that can relate to daily human struggle to live..birds search for food by themselves..yet we see a large number of people still begging for food to survive..a very interesting piece indeed..thanks for sharing..

I gave this a nine because it asks a very important question. A question which has but one answer......................FREEDOM. GW62

Another touching poem, Ahmad. I met and got to know a Muscovey duck at our local park. Would feed it bird seed every day. I would call out 'Sweetie' a few times and from quite a distance, my 'sweetie' would hear my voice and make its way toward me, wagging its tail with each step. He would stand at my feet, after he first rubbed his head against my legs, and eat from my hand. Had to stop for a few months, but he still remembered me and knew my voice. So delicious a tribute. Lots of bird feeders hanging from the trees in my back yard. You are, indeed, a special human, sir. CArol
