Today, as part of the early bird prompt, we’ve been asked to write about our favorite bird. For me it is none other than the House Sparrow. With us being under a lock-down, he’s the only one who comes visiting.
A little brown birdie
With a pearl grey belly
visits me daily
when nobody
else dares to come
He flies into the kitchen balcony
For his breakfast, lunch and tea
Peeps and scans for a potential enemy
Then makes a secret entry
Past sturdy grills and nets
Perching precariously
He hops on his tiny feet, deftly
Then bends his dainty
neck, and pecks hungrily
At the grains laid out for him
He cocks his head occasionally
And looks at me peculiarly
Before he flies away – content and free
While, I watch enviously
From where I stand confined
How I wait eagerly
For this little brown birdie, with the pearl grey belly
Who visits me daily
when nobody
else dares to come
