Cranes In Migration
Cranes fly miles
During the winter
Migrating birds
Hoping to reach their destiny.
Buzzards along the way
Look for pigeons
That seek to feasts and
long legged buzzards
search for pigeons
Inside pigeon holes.
Parrots adapt to our
Surrounding
But in the wild
They search out their
Buggery guard diet.
I never knew pigeons
Of millions of buggies
Pull their intelligence
To find their watering holes
Even attacking falcons
Trying to catch a meal
As they fall just out of reach
On a dime out maneuvering
The falcons that continue to go hungry
As the beauty of a sunset paints the skies
And the cranes continue
Their travel through the Himalayas.
The ball eagle awaits for
An exhausted crane
But the eagles aren't the only eyes
Watching these cranes in the Himalayans
Vulgers are hoping to catch an
Exhausted crane on their journey west
A crane that managed to escape
The feast of vulgers
Is spotted by a tigress with young cubs
In the land of india
The vulgers gorge on their stolen feast
Knowing the tigress will return
To feed her cubs.
Even the pigeons on the way
Snatching foods from
The rats mating and eating in chaos.
Eventually the falcons retreat after a few morsels
Taking to the skies
On the horizon cranes
See late comers delayed
By the weather
And take their refuge among them
As they leave the Himalayans
Behind therm.
Wow their journey
Take then across the land
Of camels and villagers
Pigeons feed five days among camels
Learning the camels feeding times
A pussy, not your usual pussy
Like a wilderness cat sneaks among the crowd
Gets her pigeon and feasts
Red crumb swallows in China
are accepted among the homes
Of humans
The swifts are encourage in communities
They are respected
as they keep away the pest
On the journey
swans appear in Japan
Where Japanese cranes
Perceived as good luck and tranquility
Are feed fish by the locals
So many stop migrating
All together
Their seriality is cut short
as the red fox
and the stellar eagles
Descend for a meal.
Cranes find safe havens
In Japan where cranes feed on
grains placed by villagers
For decades.
The Cranes spend their whole winter in Japan
Even moving to make room for
cranes waiting the wings
For their turn to feed on the grains
Cranes are fenced in by
From villagers welcoming their presents
Protecting safe havens.
