The Flower And The Sunbird Poem by Tony Adah

The sunbird is a very
Light bird
Its perch is a long
Leafy bougainvillea bough
And it likes this tree branch
For its white, pink and purple flowers
The source of sweet nectar.

Each time the sunbird
Alighted here for a transfusion of nectar
The bougainvillea in it
Fullness of humility
Bends and bend
Rises and rise
For the little bird to perch.

People know that the bougainvillea
Is as weak as the sunbird is light
And this is the reason
For their mutual respect
The tree is just glad
For the choice of it as a perch
And the bird is happy
For the accommodation.
