has the bougainvillea
tinted the peach blossoms and painted
the sunset sky?
male bronze sunbird
finds its voice, romances
the porch mirror
notes float on air
finds its voice, romances
the porch mirror
notes float on air
sweet song of streaky seedeater
spoilsport morning chores
faint evening breeze
ferries scent of frangipani
instant aromatherapy!
at the bird bath
birds of different feathers
flock together
at last, the first bud...
alas, falls victim to the gardener's hoe
my poor Allamanda!
at dusk fall
the robin-chat of my mind
melancholy calls
mousebird parties
feasting on peaches
tree of seeds
on my patio
Van Gogh’s blue iris
comes alive
molten mauve
path paved with petal-drops
in the vegetable patch
mousebirds nibble on greens
under the scarecrow
squatting, waiting, warming
fiscal mother breathes life
into her brood
common shrike
chirrs its curtain call
another day gone
at feet patter
butterflies take wing
yellow petals scatter
king-size sunflower head
grosbeak weaver mama and toto
nestle onto a cozy bed
overhead, a kite trills
how can you tell if it is
Padmaja, you've truly turned Nairobi-stay into a spell of self-discovery!
