Maybe one day you can wait for the parrot to talk to you and then shake your head. I am sure there is a story to be told from the other side too. These three lines got me thinking a lot. Thanks Mj

Thanks, Loke! I think the parrot, a fount of wisdom, would indeed understand!

Ahhhh... had a parakeet instead of a parrot but sometimes when I talked to him, he too ruffled his feathers as if to say and you disturbed my peace to say Petey want a cracker? And I thought people had a sufficient enough IQ to say something bright. Love this poem - you found the exactly right bird image to close this clever and perfect jewel of a poem! ! ! 10++++++++++++++ from me and the ghost of Petey past! ! ! ! ! !

Hi Susan, Thank you for stopping by, and for this remarkable comment. Yes, there are times I think the intelligent comments come from the family parrot. Thank you again (and thanks to Petey) .

Its funny when we think we hope a reply from a bird/ or someone we talked to...the bird just moving moving and we waiting waiting....silence, the bird moving moving again and we waiting waiting...no reply..nothing is really communicate well to each other, both sides are required then only communication is happened!

Thank you so much, Soul. Brilliant observation....sometime that interaction, as you suggest, is almost a dance!
