lovebirds mating

Ode to lovebird 

you want to talk
though you know its time
for my walk 

you scream loud 
to alarm everyone 
cat's in house 

I love your hymn 
can understand just rhyme  

you sing for me  

pact with your mate  
like Hindus Marriage Act
no divorce

from dining table
choose fruits and vegetables
are you veggie ? 

with your red beak 
the green chilli you break 
tongue's yet cool

toys you get 
put in your mouth 
childish behave 

lovebird! tuck the straw
for construction of nest 
mating season nears 

loving bird !
do you to me?
I love you


Koel sings

Koo oo, Koo oo, the koel sings.
Sweetness of sugar, to the ears, brings.

Keeps her hidden within the leaves.
'I'm here' coos from branch of tree.
Proclaims, here, arrived the spring.

Koo oo, Koo oo, the koel sings.

Darker than coal, her colour is black.  

Her superb cuteness, her voice makes. 
Her song for the hearts, tool of alluring. 
Koo oo, Koo oo, the koel sings.

With crimson eyes, she looks insane. 
Always eager, to look the August rain.
Chants to the tune of droplets falling.
Koo oo, Koo oo, the koel sings.

cuckoo sings
in first rays of sun
darkness goes 

my eyes open
in first rays of sun
songs of the birds

lay her eggs
but doesn't know
where to hatch
