Moody miserable looking day
The sun preferring to remain
Hide since first ray;
Sky black faced morose
Sends down thunderous cursing roars…
Hooligan wind freed, scoops in
To drive out hapless dry leaves
The lonely pavements off;
Chilling my spine now it begins
To rain, out there cats and dogs…
I look out of my window panes
To me the world outside seen
Drained of life deserted forlorn
Left alone to face the onslaught from top;
No body around here? Oh! I find her close…
Right on top of my neighbor’s roof
I see a crow on the edge of eaves board
Sitting as if in deep trance
Sodden unmindful of the outside chaos
Created by the sky atop…
What she is doing out there I wonder
Could have moved yards to the tree over
And sought shelter from rains’ torture
But no; bathing in the horrendous showers
She sits sharp with her uncanny eyes…
I wait; watch again to locate her sight
She looks towards a hole down the lane
A hole large, to where the run off rush
Passing the yard the pavements and bush
Where the flow gets sucked and water out gush…
And all of sudden I see her take off
Stoop and pick up a sizable frog
That comes out of the pit water logged;
With prey on her beak, flying she goes,
Towards a branch of that tree near of…
Thunder roars; the wind witnessing soars
Rain continues to come down non stop
And I learn a telling truth of life
From this wise bird; a lesson how to spot
One’s daily meals; lesson essential all us for…

Outside world is chaotic and distressful, always made me wonder why, now I too look around and wait patiently for my daily bread. Joke on side, it's an amazing write, with deeper message!

Very meaningful write, can be interpreted in many ways. There is a rare type of opportunity, when it's clearly visible don't let it go out of your sight no matter what happens, cause it might not come again. Love this!

that is a work of a great artist indeed...you know when the apple fell down from the tree..Newton jump to all sorts of conclusions..he is a great observer...likewise you v observed the scene and portrayed it in a manner that the reader's mind's eye spontaneously arouses and starts to ponder about the the kind of a lessons that can be learn from such an incident....in fact we humans can learn lot from animal life.....
beautiful write
regards

While Bob Blackwell is busy admiring his pun, here's the deal: you can do a very good job at National Geographic or Discovery channels...With the camera-like eyes, loads of patience, and a story to tell, you have an hidden talent to do documentaries and entertaining films as well! (With the added bonus of a moral ending to boot! !)
Write on, Kesav....
Cheers.

crows have bad name of dirty birds....but it is shocking to know that when the sun sets, more than 1000nds of crows settle at a place.....they are united on each and every moment...they lament like children when they lose a member from their group...
