Bird Logic Poem by Jasbir Chatterjee
Bird Logic
A pigeon and his paramour
Sat under a roof,
Inhaling deeply the cool morning air,
On one lovely day of Spring.
The sky was blue and clear,
And red roses were in full bloom.
The pigeon suddenly came closer
To kiss his love's
Lovely black beak.
Coyly, shrinking away, the lover said,
'Hush, darling! Be careful.
See how they glare at us.'
The pigeon retorted,
'Don't worry, Darling.
We are free birds, not humans.
We don't have to believe in their silly theories and stinking isms.
We value freedom above everything else;
We don't fight, kill, and wage wars and love is all that we believe in.'
The lover smiled and pulled him closer.
With their wings around each other,
Beaks touching and love blazing in their souls,
They kissed, long, deep, unhurried,
In full view of the Conservatives who watched,
Embarrassed, speechless, and pink-faced.
lovely theme and thought. If only it had rhythm and rhyme I think it might be a classic.
and i just added this to MyPoemList. i thoroughly enjoyed it. bri :)
good poem, Animals live with more practical intelligence including emotional intelligence but in non-verbal logic and non verbal emotion mode.
wonderful enumeration of sights of everyday life and getting the anecdote dribble through the philosophical lanes of different life of animaldom and humans.I like to add that unholy ambition of a few crusaders have distorted the path of civilization from its ideal way.
Using pigeons you nailed the human errs, although we are Ashraful-Makhluqat Supreme creation of Almighty yet we fight, envy, kill, differentiate etc etc....We do not value our freedom and instead we are slave of our wishes, gadgets, norms of the society, culture, tradition, fashion.....A thought provoking poem,10+++
What a great poem. Speaks of the uninhibitedness of the animal world around us and the walls we as humans have built around our most heartfelt urges to appear more sophisticated. Perfect accompanying photo. Congratulations on being published as well, the piece is well deserving
Jasbir! Such a beautiful poem about two loving pigeons.! I totally agree! The bird logic is very different from human logic. We are free birds, not humans. We don't have to believe in their silly theories and stinking isms. We value freedom above everything else; We don't fight, kill, and wage wars and love is all that we believe in. I like your style of writing. Frank, with a clear concept and an earnest philosophy! Enjoyed it. Full score!

Your poems are such a delight to read, It brings to fore the hypocrisy of our thinking. Thanks. Don't worry, Darling / We are free birds, not humans / We don't fight, kill, and wage wars and love is all that we believe in.
