Changing Mood Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Changing Mood

Rating: 5.0


(Thanks to Marie Shine whose post inspired me to write this poem)
Oh sad bird! I am feeling your pain and I forgot mine
I shall let you know how beautiful she looked here dreaming
Feel my pain and forget what has been hurting your heart,
I can imagine you with your lovely pair talking and swimming
Lake is there, tree is the same, flowers still bloom,
A bird is there and it's alone, so I am, let us share our gloom.

Dear bird! You live in water, I wonder where you lay your eggs,
Inside the lake or somewhere in the muddy bosom of the bank,
Tell me when you are alone how your eggs you will incubate
May I help you in any way, I'm serious it's not a prank.
Now I see you smiling, my words really worked a lot
I smile, you smile, are we sad? No, we are not!

The boat is also here I shall now row to the other bank,
If your spouse is also there you may accompany me
You said, "No, you'll prefer to swim back to him."
What you do to make him smiling, I shall see.
That's how we the humans share our pains in the life,
That's how I change her mood when she is cross in a strife.

This is such a thoughtful poem expressing your concern for a friend in pain! Through your half witty verse, you wish to make her smile and reduce her gloom! The picture that accompanies it also is so captivating! A sure 10

There's something so special about birds. I wake up every day with the songs of birds, sometimes it is a sparrow making soft sounds, sometimes a rooster, sometimes, in Spring, the beautiful sound of the Cuckoo. I absolutely adore your poem Mr Jawad. Thanks for sharing...
