Day-23
NaPoWriMo-2025
What was that sound?
So sweet and melodious?
Letting my soul wander
For that momentary pleasure!
Aha!! It came from my backyard.
Concealed among the foliage
Serenading the morning chimes,
The queen of musical rhymes.
I peeked through my window
Craning my neck to view
What a contradictory sight!
Dark and melodiously divine
One of god's miracles!!
Cradled atop the mango tree
Camouflaged between the branches
Singing with its soothing voice
Nestled among the verdant canopy!
The sweetest voice
Of dark countenance
Made my heart and soul
Blessed and blissful
Listening with tears in my eyes
At the magical wonder on a lusty April .
Ptompt: Humans might be the only species to compose music, but we’re quite famously not the only ones to make it. Birdsong is all around us – even in cities, there are sparrows chirping, starlings making a racket. And it’s hardly surprising that birdsong has inspired poets. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write your own poem that focuses on birdsong. Need examples? Try A.E. Stallings’ “Blackbird Etude,” or for an old-school throwback, Shelley’s “To a Skylark.”
