Ostrich

By Brinda Chakraverty

Overpowered and majestic, leading its herd

Looked over the barriers, the largest bird-

Shrewd and serene, staring right through my mind,

What, I wonder, she thought of our kind…

The symbol of elegance and grace standing there-

Surrounded by a dignified exalted air-

Regalia of confidence and strength-

To fulfil its goal, can reach any length…

Its qualities represented in its walk of complete wonder,

Each step with radiance, not a single blunder…

Clad with an armour of feathers pink and black,

Ready to flap as an indication to attack!

Hands reached our head, as it began its dance,

Succeeded in delving us in a hypnotic trance…
