Sonnet of a bird

It was morning around 5 o’clock

I was sitting by the lake on a rock.

The air was so fresh and pure

Like there was nothing else to endure.

The lake was serene undisturbed

But a sweet music was all I heard.

It’s too soothing to express in words

The singer was just a bird.

It took me into a world unknown

Where all my emotions were sown.

The melody of its song is unimaginable

It shook me, made me unstable.

It was more than being fantastic,

It was pure magic.

The sweetest melody one could inject

The notes were so perfect.

Everything seemed to be quiet

While I listened to the bird’s sonnet!

The writer is in class X C, St.Joseph’s Girls’ High School, Visakhapatnam
