THE SWEET MORNING BIRD

THE SWEET MORNING BIRD

A Poem by Maitreye Deka

 THE SWEET MORNING BIRD 
WAKING EARLY FROM MY COZY BED,
I HEARD A CHIRP OUT OF MY WINDOW.
THERE STOOD A COLOURFUL BIRD 
WITH A SWEETEST CHIRP OF ALL. 
PLAYFUL AND CHARMING IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY,
DANCING ON HER TOES,
AMAZINGLY HIGH SPIRITS FOR ONE AND ALL.
TAKING MY HEART AWAY UP IN THE SKY.. 
I FALL BACK AND LIE DOWN ON MY COUCH. 
I FEEL SO COZY IN HEIGHTS OF CLOUD. 
ENJOYING THE LIGHT ON MY FACE AND DOWN BELOW. 
I AM FLOATING LIKE THE CLOUDS,
FEELING THE BREEZE AND THE LIGHT ON MY TORSO. 

PO-PO-POO-POO.. 
AAAAAAA    AAAAAAA... 
I WOKE UP AT ONCE! 
MUMMY SCREAMING... WHAT FOR? 
OH I GOT IT.. THAT WAS THE BUS,
BUS I REMEMBER!! 
HOLY CHRIST! BUS THE BUS IN MIND IT PLAYED. 

BRUSHED MY TEETH IN 1 min.. I KNOW IT STINKS
CHEWING GUM WILL DO FOR IT. 
BATH FOR 5 MIN.. HELL I HATE IT TODAY! 
IT WAS DOT 7:00 AM. 
REACHED OUT FOR UNIFORM..
STILL THE SHOES ARE NOT DONE.

FINALLY I REACHED THE STOP,
I COULD SEE THE BUS AHEAD. 
IT LEFT ME.. 
DAMN THAT BIRD... 
DAMN THAT COUCH.. 
DAMN THAT BREEZE.. 
AND DAMN THAT LIGHT! 

TOOK AN AUTO TOI THE SCHOOL.
LATE FOR 30 mins SHOULD HAVE REASON SO CALLED! 
I AM EXHAUSTED AND TIRED FOR NOW. 
I TOLD THE AUTO, 
LETS GET BACK TO MY HOME!
