Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Tender Bits of Love

Shadows now quiver
Leafy designs on grass
As sated leaves rustle
On a tall red maple
When fleeting rain’s gone.

Striped in brown
A lone sparrow hops
From branch to branch
In purposeful dance.

Not a cloud is found
In vibrant sky above
As horizon dreams
Visions of sundown.

Sun rays scatter
Through drops of water
On blossoms of flowers
Refracting light
From optical prisms
Gleaming gemstones
As warm air breezes
Petrichor emotions.

Suddenly a chatter
Lifts up insects
And lands in the nest
Full of young ones,

Feeding beak to beak
Tender bits of love.
