My Sparrow Friend

Where are you, my little feathered friend?
My hands, full of your favourite grain
Fly down here, before my time will end
Fly to my balcony, before it does rain.


Twig by twig, where did you take away?
Is your cozy nest all ready and done?
On the guava tree, alight, perch and sway
Accept your share and we gladly run


So different, are the lives we lead
And yet the same, in more ways than one
With a smiling tweet, little stomachs you feed
In the small puddles, you bathe in the sun


In a rush, you suddenly come, flying down
And beckon with your hungry little beak
Amidst your meal, at my face you peep
And happily say, “Chirrup! Chirrup, Cheep! Cheep! ”

Vishesh said…
nature and its creatures are beautiful...its just that we dont have time to look at it..instead we go about destroying it....
to observe the way animals act is nice..
the cat crouching or the dog sizing you up or even a spider or the lizards ways..
lovely poem...

Chirrup! Chirrup, Cheep! Cheep!..that was cute.

They sound much sweeter on quiet sunday afternoons, when i am at my table and everyone around are enjoying a nap.

Seema said…
Nice verse..bit by bit...its so much like each one of us!
Amidst all the chaos around us...its so natural to turn to the undisputed beauty in nature!

The sparrow and humans converge at various points.

The sparrow is always happy-at least mostly happy.

The sparrow does what it has to- gather food, feed young ones, chirp merrily.

But, it is seldom few who try to communicate to the sparrow, like you. :)

Beautiful lines.

I think that the art portrays the various philosophies prevailing in that time period. Be it a painting, a book etc. We can learn so much about ancient times from such modes of expression. We can learn so much about ourselves, how we do things like this now and what caused certain changes in our life style etc.
Such simplicity throws out such great taste....Wonderful poem here...I used to love watching the sparrows too n would try n find out where their nests were n did find many..Some were in our restroom at home! :)

In US I sed to watch the ducks as there was a pond outside my house...It was so cute to just watch them shake n walk around!

@Priya: Nature itself is so sweet, but we do not stop to notice often.. :)

@Lalitha: Thank YOu :-)

@Vishesh: Exactly, everything in nature is so wondrous.. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts, Vishesh..!

@Hip Grandma: So finally I get tagged again.. Shall do it soon, hip grandma..

@Marutham: Yeah, marutham in fact he does know about my blog..:) Atleast he sympathizes with me on that aspect.. Thanks for your kind words :)

@Passerby55: Yes, I think it is painted. Nice one isn`t it..? Yes they sound real cute..!

@Seema: Yes Nature heals like none other. How True..!

@Alex: Well Said Alex! It is truly art that stands as testimony to the philosophy of a time period.. and that is why since cinema is the dominant art form right now, it pains to see misrepresentation of society and general philosophy.

@Scribblez: Jus watching them makes us feel simple and down to earth. they truly inspire. Ducks are so much fun to watch.

@Keshi: Yes, a really wonderful pastime i.e. Thanks for dropping by..

@Marthyan: Thanks a lot, Marthyan.. It did take long to make a connection.. :)

@Sreejith: Thanks my friend..! Yes I do get a little time to drop in at times..
