Victor Buhagiar Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Listen To the Chaffinches

How pleasing to us are the quiet of the country lanes.
The vociferous extrovert chaffinches sing their refrains.

Remember how often we would trek the lonely paths
Occasionally they find some rill and have their baths

So common all over earth since they love to migrate,
Flying happily but from birds of prey quickly elate.

Their natural habitat is the woodland where they can rest.
Their songs communicate in different suggestions best

But especially when the mating seasons begin.
How lovely to listen songs far from the city's din

Valsa George December 14, 2021 at 5:23 AM Finches are such lovely birds. I had two finches in a cage. They lived so happy, occasionally taking a dip in the container of water kept inside the cage. After a year or so one of them died and its mate became so lonely and didn't even care to eat or take bath. Seeing its lonely state, I set it free. All these thoughts came to my mind on reading your lovely poem.
