Crow Is A Beautiful Bird Poem by Narayanan Ramakrishnan

Crow Is A Beautiful Bird

Rating: 5.0


I wonder why, we have lot of crows that caw
Instead, why not we had lot of parrots that screatch;
Inplace, we have more to our eyes and add color more.
If that were so, our earth would seem more so green
and black so less.

But a crow is not such a awful thing and hounded,
For it embodies a heart that well grounded
That alerts its company in times peril
Or the moment it rests its eyes on spoils.
Good or bad they share and never fail

Throaways and carcasses, on our path, they devour
And with ogled eye snatch a snack
To make our tyro split in tears and in
No time parts away, to share the loot.

Parrots are, no doubt, pleasant and decorous
But on throwaways and carcasess, blind eye they turn,
Ripe mangoes and fruits are they after
They more they gulp, the less we have.

Let the nature takes its course;
Let us not propogate one to banish one
A crow, indeed, is a beautiful bird,
That help us to live in a better world.

The oft-maligned crow receives adulation and honour! His apparent usefulness earning him respect, whereas in our midwestern countryside he is known as a thief against which we erect strawmen to deter, frightening him. Very fascinating. I quite enjoyed this contemplation, especially as you very well express, we are wont to prefer the beauty of the colourful parrot, without realizing the loss of our own food supply...yet in that note, the crow is likewise condemned for robbing our food supply as well. Quite interesting. Indeed, in this you have depicted the crow as a rather beautiful bird.

Good poem. Quite innovative in thoughts. Strange arguments in favour of the crow being a beautiful bird. Though I am not fully agree with you yet I find the poem interesting.
