May I Come In

A little flight takes off nearby Oops! It does not drift into the sky; A tailor bird delves into the nest, feeds the chicks, the food best So whenever I step into my garden I ask them "May I come in?" Some babblers stare at me sullenly Oh! They're aiding grownup kids fly. Umpteen birds "Who's the mom?", I wonder! "We live in community" they thunder. So whenever I step into my garden I ask them" May I come in? Common crow butterflies glide in the air, and seek their host plants everywhere; Finalized the pink oleander as their host plant Soon, a kaleidoscope of butterflies gonna enchant So whenever I step into my garden I ask them" May I come in? White bubbles encroach the green grass Bubbles emanate cracking, become like glass; Oh! A big head with small eyes emerges, garden lizard raises and starts to diverge So whenever I step into my garden I ask them" May I come in? Squirrels scamper everywhere Munias, hoard millet seeds from here Bulbuls, busy eating the worms Biodiversity works in full term So whenever I step into my garden I ask them" May I come in?

I was under the impression that my garden was not lacking in anything, Supraja, but now I realize that yours is even better! I enjoyed this sweet, delightful poem where you interact with the creatures that inhabit it. ~ Regards // paul
