Surroundings-51 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Pigeon's nest


A sudden lookout
My instinct did

A sudden sight
My eyes caught

A pigeon-pair
Building their nest

Already half done
Busy still they were

It looked like
An upside down basket

Grown on construction
It now looks a mound

On the window ledge of
Neighbour house

Symbol of love
Symbol of peace..

A messenger group
Convening to implement

I hear many coos
Kith and kin and friends

Many flaps like claps
May be their way of avowal
