Catching Birds Poem by Biplab Singha

Catching Birds



In my childhood
I caught birds
Just to tame.
Caged and fed them in- water, rice and biscuit;
Just to grow up,
To make accompany.
I climbed up tress
Broke the nests
And brought them
to home.
But,
when I grew up,
I felt love- they would be sad if snapped out from parents.
They have a little family
As I have.
Do I need to do it more?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In my childhood, I was very eager to catch birds to domesticate them as my friend. I broke their nests and brought the little birds from the tress to home and kept them in a cage and tried to fee them water, rice, biscuit, loff and many others. But I was never successful to domesticate them. They never took a bit of food. And obediently, I freed them.

The childhood passed. I became understanding. I understood how the bird's parents might cry for their child. I felt a lot of love in my heart! And I never tried to chase them more.

Everything is beautiful at its place.
