In darkness before
Rainy dawn awakens one
Bird calls “So-sweet”.

Little Green Bird

.
.
A small Green Bird
Lives on this mountain,
Flitting about,
From pine tree to bush.
.
With one bright eye,
Then the other,
Little Green Bird
Carefully studied me.
.
It is you, little Green Bird,
With your lovely plumes,
And friendly glance,
Who are the rare encounter.
.
Why did you linger,
Coming closer when I laughed?
Such a funny little bird,
You tiny warbling green beauty.
