Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Life of Avian Deception

LIFE OF AVIAN DECEPTION

Serrated wings spread wide on wandering wind,
it glides smooth in sly trail of swerving sinister way 
in timid sky eyeing the vibrant landscape to find
through the focused hawkeye the unwary prey.

Slim ballerina legs leap in stride of rhythmic style,
in avian grace it wades in the rippling algal water,
supple nape swivels in ballet, poised to beguile.
Sunburst brush paints pink the flowery feather.

In maze of convoluted life’s delusive deception 
the mind may swoon, hunt like a wily buzzard,
concealed beneath garb of flemingo’s attraction
till the bird reaches the edge of its flight blurred.
