The Great Indian Bustard
Hybronnet Poem, 14 lines, 10 syllables per line.
-------------------------------------------------------
Brown, white, grey, black crown, across breast black band
Colors saturated with calm grassland
Too Heavy for a bird, too tall a bird
Too less vision, too shy to fly a third
A Haughty look, loves clear view, regal stance
Just 140 left in the world, at glance
The Great Indian Bustard now rare bird
Changing landscapes pushing it to a word
Rewilding is a lie, damage control,
Programs, Funds, afforestation, all swell
Management, Planning are scrabble words play
Critically endangered bird display
A barren land, for want of just land clear
Piece of undisturbed grassland, now so dear
