Gonzo...

Room filled with chirps and chatter
I remember your cheeps and babbles
I offered you your fav green, red chillies
In the cage door; bolted and locked real tight,
You turned your neck
and enjoyed one more bite.

You snatched those red grams
when I turned to see my mom
What a cute little birdie you're,
spreading the wings of dreams
miss you, you're so far
This 'GONZO' reminds me of you
my red beaked, Dear 'Pattoo'.

 

 

**********************************************************

( I love 'GONZO' who is a beautiful and a colorful parrot of Marianne R...and from last many days, I wanted to write something for him...This is a tribute to my parrot 'Pattoo', who's in India...)

 

THE SUPER GONZO

 

I don't have his pic but Indian parrots are like this, red beak, red neck, and all green....They imitate a lot)

I love it when people combine words with someone else's pictures...you were inspired. The birds are beautiful by the way.

My aunt used to have a parrot. Lovely.

I can relate to this, Bhawana, as I used to own a darling male cockatiel, and had to give him away after a number of years. He was the most socialble little guy, and I had trained him to sing parts of a number of songs. I miss him very much and wish I knew now where he was, as he was given to some elderly ladies (from the person I have him to) who I don't know. *sigh*
Jennifer aka Jenn B. Aug 14, 2008, 6:58pm EDT
very nice...I received a cockatiel from my husband last week...they are such a pleasure...
Years ago I had a cockatoo that was shipped to me from Australia right before the govt. closed the door on this particular kinds importation...
he died a tragic death, but when I saw my new bird I immediately loved him...so, my husband bought him for me in the blink of an eye..he was mine!
Jim Ross Aug 15, 2008, 12:05am EDT
A pleasure to read and absorb, Bhawana. Your touches here are deft and as colorful as the birds themselves. Loved the poem and the pictures.
Barbara B. Aug 15, 2008, 12:35pm EDT
My dear friend, what a lovely picture you painted with your words!
Such inspiration coming from those words you penned. *smiles*
Angela A. Aug 19, 2008, 9:44pm EDT
Pretty birdie!
Cristina S. Sep 9, 2008, 3:27am EDT
A sweet tribute to your Pattoo Bhawana!
We had a budgie for a long time, and missed him for a long time after he flew over the rainbow bridge...
