Black Forest Nature Poem (Satis Shroff)
FEATHERED FRIENDS ( Satis Shroff ) A pair of binocs and patience Is all you need. Watching our feathered friends In the garden or the Black Forest. Hush! A steglitz with red and white feathers, Has just come by. Some pigeons have left Freiburg And roost on the pine trees, In the urban outskirts. The blaumeise is a frequent guest, With its black streak across the eyes, And the blue feathered cap it wears. Yesterday was sunny And a robin took a speedy bath, On the stone pool, Ever on guard, Lest it be surprised, By a curious jay or a prowling cat. Now and then you hear the zaunkönig, Europe’s smallest bird, Trilling out loud, Grabbing everyone’s attention. But in the evening, When the sun goes down, It’s time for the loveliest melodies, Sung by the blackbird, From my neighbour’s rooftop.
