The Bird Watcher (Part 1) Poem by Nooruddeen Mathilakathveetil
The Bird Watcher (Part 1)
I plod through the leafy woods
The shadowy, coolly rain forest at the dale
Harkening the spellbinding tunes of trills
Watching the vividly coloured pretty fowls
Echoes of those feeble (But aloud) chirrups twinging me
Of those little birds I encaged in my early ages
Were all tremulous and dolorous sobs, but
Misapprehended unto chant sweet songs of rollicking
Encaging the birds is remorselessness
To set all those confined birds free, now I wish,
To let them spread their wings beneath the skies
And dry out their invisible tears in the fresh breeze of the freedom
The red and blue Macaws, the Golden Pheasants….
The birds of passage,
The settlers for the time being,
Blossom the trees with lurid variance of colours
The Green Turacos, the red Robins
And the tall milky Flamingoes with pinkish limbs
Creeping in the marsh and organizing their eats,
Deceive me the marshy land to be an enchanting flowerbed
Golden slanting rays and long shadows
The contrasting beauties of the forest
And the humming of swaying trees in the breeze
Embellish to the beauty to the trills & chirrups

One has to read it twice or thrice to feel the sincerity of the author in regards to birds, to feel how a bird watcher observed the fowl kingdom, its habitat coupled with lovely verdure about, the virgin forest, beauty of the faura. After the read you will find yourself smiling happily, satisfied that everything around you is well taken care of. That's the essence of this creative piece of work and of course the very talented writer we have here.
The Creator gave birds wings so they can fly freely and gave us their bird song so that we can rejoice with their flight.Lovely poem...I like birds too but my birds are free flying garden visitors.A ten from me
