                                              The Parakeet 


Chewing a tiny green leaf ,

She purses her Ruby red lips

With a slant posture ; a curved emerald green,

Sitting on the branch in delight.

 


Her teeth ,

A row of magnolias blossoming ,

Line in line together.

 


Oh , parakeet !

An endless spring,

With a pursuing flight ,

Soaring in the air.

 


For she descends slowly ,

Her tiny feet ,

underneath her ,

harrowing plumage.

 


She gently lands ,

Surrounded by ,

pink petals of flowers.

 


For she looks up ,

A summer of Lillies

Left behind…..


The author's comments:

Parakeets have a playful nature and with their high intelligence can be thought a large range of vocabulary ; with a wide variety in colours. They are beautiful and very exotic birds.
