A Man And A Bird (Part 3) Poem by Akhtar Jawad
A Man And A Bird (Part 3)
Fasting in a hot day like yesterday,
No food no water throughout the day,
I couldn't go out to bring a nest
And in a very hot morning, today,
You are back to remind the hotter noon,
A man promises and forgets very soon!
Starring at me that's what you say,
Sweet bird! I am made of clay,
Know the time of laying eggs is approaching
It's sun that confines me at home all the day.
Looking for something durable lying somewhere
I shall manage it very soon here or there.
I have to avenge a misdeed, a boyhood fun,
Regret! I killed a moon with my pellet gun,
When found her sun crying on the same branch,
I picked my air gun and killed the sun.
A beautiful couple of singing birds in love,
Are you a rebirth of that innocent dove?
A very vivid remembrance of boyhood. Very touching write. There are things we did in our childhood that we want to amend as we go through adulthood. A great poem.10
I shot a bird with a bb gun when I was young. I have never gotten over it either.

The poem is packed with some very heartfelt imagery. And the final question is extremely touching.
