Bird 11 - The Parrots' Symphony Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Bird 11 - The Parrots' Symphony
An unexpected pleasant morning,
As I sat on a natural wooden bench,
Waking up to the murmur of the sea waves,
Watching the sunrise with a golden glow.
All of a sudden, I saw
A delightful sight with wonder,
A parrots' parade in the blue sky,
A profusion of green birds flying together.
Only once before, I have seen
One hundred and more parrots together,
On a single tree in Silent Valley of Kerala,
O! An unforgettable sight stored in my memory.
Blessed I am, to see such a vision again,
Beside the sandy beaches of Manori Island,
Breath-taking view of so many birds flying together,
Beauteous pattern of symmetry and design.
They descended down in a flock,
Then headed straight towards
The tall Casuarina tree - And
That's where I was seated, just near the tree.
The parrots were in great cheer
Flapping their wings merrily,
Fluttering around in a glee,
Then, settling on the branches so wiry.
Never heard such continuous chatter,
Never experienced such lively twitter,
Lovely parrots in a never-ending conversation,
Least bothered or disturbed by my participation.
I have heard the classical symphony of
Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mozart,
But the symphony of parrot's twitter tee,
Is something that shall ever echo in my ears.
early morning. I was so entranced by the sight that I did not take any
photographs. Any movement, would have disturbed the parrots'
symphony. I was afraid that they would fly away. But i took the photograph of the place and the tree (Casuarina) on which the parrots were perched in a big flock.
A lovely watch..a lovely poem and that is how a true poet is...one more golden feather on your poetic crown Geeta...God bless you
Geeta, I relate to this experience because of your fervent description. I have not witnessed parrots like this, but I have witnessed hundreds of starlings in liquid formations and dozens of crows in a few trees as the sun rose. What a blessing and privilege to be present for such things! -Glen
Thank you Glen for sharing your experience. I feel the best experience in life is to be able to see the wonders of life. The more you see these picturesque sights of beauty, the more one is convinced of the great Architect who is omnipresent.
Thank you for sharing your lovely experience with me, I had similar encounters and you had brought back the memories.
Happy to know that you too had an experience of this sort. It is exhilarating. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and memory.
Blessed I am, to see such a vision again, Beside the sandy beaches of Manori Island, Breath-taking view of so many birds flying together, Beauteous pattern of symmetry and design. Be always blessed with the beauty of mother nature and write always such beautiful poems.
Akhtar Sahab, thank you so much for appreciating the parrot's symphony. You have always been very kind with your words. Thank you.
This is indeed a true masterpiece. A poem eulogizing the sweet song of scores of parrots perched on a single tree. The reader can very well realize the magic produced by the mellifluous sound of parrots' song which is comparable to the symphony of great music maestros. A superfine portrayal nature. Thank you, Geeta ji.
thank you so much Rajnish ji for your kind, generous and inspiring words. Stay blessed.
