Of Birds And Men Comments

i went to your poem list and again was drawn to this poem. after rereading it, i still enjoyed it at least as much as the first time. but as for your poet note's second sentence, i still wonder how you know so much about bird anatomy and emotional needs (if that is what you are referring to) . hmmm? bri ;) were you a bird in a previous life?

Fantastic write. I am adding it to my favorites. Well done.10++

You have a very creative way leading us into the world of someone who is in love and their ability to spot others in a similar condition. The poem was refreshing in it's beauty.

truly observed... the love of birds and men.. nice imagery thanks you sir....

Khairul, my favorite stanza: While one was chirping, the other listened, sitting on a wire, as their feathers glistened. besides portraying some interesting sightings, and having nice rhymes [[and i'm glad you paid more attention to what you wanted to say than to making all the rhymes perfect]] , i was also very pleased with how you used punctuation (including useful commas) in such a way as to make the story very clear. sometimes i struggle a bit trying to figure out someone's poem because it lacks helpful punctuation. i'm wondering though............... what is it birds do not, and need not? broad shoulders or the heads to lay down on the shoulders? or both? heh heh. i know there are a lot of differences (though not always of great magnitude) between birds and humans, but i still sometimes ruffle my wife's feathers. bri :)

@ Pradip Chattopadhyay, Thank you very much for your apt, delightful remarks on my poem. Much amused by your 'hit-and-miss' thing.

@ Sandra Feldman, I feel highly elated at your more than generous comment. I think birds and animals feel and respond to love, like human beings. 'Maybe we all are blessed and cursed by it? ' - Well said. Yes, I guess so.

@Valsa George, Thanks for your thought evoking comment which complements my observation. Am glad to know you found it 'delightful'. Am inspired.

Beautiful snapshots of birds and men in love! It is an engaging sight that sparks off love in the minds of those who observe! ......A delightful poem! !

@ Payal Parande, Thank you very much for visiting me after a long spell. I am glad that you liked the tale.

Birds have their own gestures to reassure the mate and they're always hit-and-no-miss. As for men, it's so often hit-and-miss! Enjoyed this poem much, poet.

I too wonder if animals can feel love.. Maybe we all are blessed and cursed by it? . However in this lovely poem, only the sweetness of love prevails both for humans and birds, as masterfully conveyed by this most sensitive of poets, Kairul Ahsan.

beautiful, you too have power to held us under a spell. bravo sir a tale well told

@ Lorraine Colon, Thanks for reading and commenting on my poem within minutes of its being posted. I am honored. 'I wonder if birds feel love for each other, or just do things out of necessity.' - I think they do feel love for each other. They look mournful when a mate dies, or killed by a hunter.

Men and birds are not much different in that they both choose their mates, protect each other, help each other raise the young. I wonder if birds feel love for each other, or just do things out of necessity. I never thought about it before. One thing I do know.... a bird could never write a poem as delightful as this!
