ornithologist.

ornithologist.

A Poem by jenniewren (J.W. Bouwman)

she knows the names

of all the birds…

not the ones Darwin

or some other,

equally myopic,

scientist fool

had designated,

but the real ones -

the names that exist

under the hush of leaves

Wonderful poem.
This is a lovely poem.
I guess that the term 'ornithologist' is not known to many readers.
So,they did not put comment for two years though about 100 persons viewed this piece.
It is nice to mention about science in poems.
