Java Sparrow - Pets
Japanese White-eye
"O blessed Java Sparrows mostly, the rare Opals then the plentiful Greys--palm frond squatters, and the ever so oft, Mejiro birds, a.k.a., the "Japanese White-Eyed," chartreuse bodied against the legendary red Lehua blossoms of the Ohia tree," ... by the Poet's House
Negligible motions, Java Sparrows, haiku artisan, deep in thought, attends, dawn break wings flapped--an idea narrows, wake unassumed thoughtless emptied pretends. Shelved packaged bird seeds feignedly addressed, bird tray absence spilt seeds stretch, preached as well, slight spread outwards, fashioned spawning impressed, near and far, Meijiro's numbered midst swell. Shunned Java Sparrows, aimless namesakes, Meijiro's not pleased, their own--true Zero, starved be-trayed craftsman sentiments opaques, overburdened, labored--the birds, ditto! Food fills the starving, and water quench thirst, pleased chirps harmonize--receptive mind, versed.
