Watching Birds In the Garden

Watching Birds In The Garden 


     Watching birds in the garden
                    amidst of mundane
                     chores
                      to bore
                 is my simple pleasure !
                 That trove of treasure-
                   I enjoy in my garden and lawn
                       at every early dawn.

       Group of sterlings
          quarrelling and chirping !
          Flocks of sparrows to hop and chirrup:
          Taking morning tea as I burp.

         I observe,
          cooing doves
          and little birdies with sweet tweets
          fed by parent bird bit by bit
          through beak to mouth agape !
           That makes me laugh.

       Parrot or parakeet
      sometimes visit
      Even hoopoe, though rare
       really cares 
         to whelm me:
       Tough enemy
       of small Insects,
         they detect
          from ground
          all around.

      Off and on a kite
         on its flight
      takes rest on tree top.
       Ambient is disturbed.
       Flocks of crows get perturbed
       with shrill caws non stop.
        
       Simple fun has turned my addiction:
           Free entertainment  ! No restriction.
