I Wonder Why……..! Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

I Wonder Why……..!

Rating: 5.0


Returning at dawn from the port
Monster avian hover around
Lied down, yet, bed never obliged
For the turbulence within, I wonder why……..!

Didn't hear the Buggy Guju…Guju…
Perturbing my midnight TV watch
Didn't do midnight run down either
To open the door, I wonder why ……….!

Didn't hear usual question answer session
Mom used to switch on, every night like
Only time his voice is heard, usually
Unheard tonight, I wonder why ……!

Room, emancipated his warmth from
Remains sealed and unattended
Buggy gone in to a slumber, dejectedly like
Apparently for a spell, I wonder why ….!

Of the three chicks raised in domicile
Only one hanged around, warming our nest
For his good, took to wings, away in to blues
Testing might, exploring global span

Adobe seems insipidly
Stay in feels lousily
Contemplating moodily
I wonder, I wonder why ……….!

I wonder, I wonder why ……….! how is it that the first two comments make it sound as though the readers understood your poem completely and thought it was excellent? must be a language/culture barrier which I am unable to break through while reading. I dare say that many ‘english-as-second-or third-language’ readers would have a lot of trouble understanding (some at least) of my poems I sometimes thought, while reading, that the poem was anthropomorphizing birds and the life of birds at or away from a nest. other times I thought you were talking about some ‘problems’ or at least changes happening or which had happened in a human family. [it is true that sometimes I’ve heard of a family’s home referred to as a ‘nest’.] ============================================================== ACTUALLY, I came to this poem with the motive of leaving a message for the poet which I’m not allowed to send via PH’s message system (inbox/outbox) . I want to thank Jayatissa for the following poem comment on my poem: [THANKS FOR THIS COMMENT]: Date & Time: 1/29/2016 6: 24: 00 PM Remove this comment Poem: 44569172 - Looking For Love... [inspired By Ph Poet Kim Barney (He Is A Guy!) : Humor; Semi-True About Bri; Short (Enough) ] Member: Jayatissa K. Liyanage Comment: Ha.....ha....ha....! I earnestly hope your fifth wife, if ever you have one, will tell you that you have too much of brain. What will be your reaction Bri, if she says so? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jayatissa, the comment (above) I understand completely! well, a fifth wife could only do worse than the first ones if she said I had ‘negative-brain’! ! ! if #5 were to say “you have too much of brain” ….i would, of course, have to agree with her! bri :)
