Greeting from a bird one morning

She came singing sweetly one morning; 

Greetings, I said, what is your message?

Dr Abe V Rotor

Perperroka (Ilk) perches on the rear mirror of a car

She came singing sweetly one morning

     after the cock had done his part;

she came all the way from the far North

     to share her language and her art.

Greetings, I said, what is your message?   

     she said something very strange 

half Russian, half Chinese, I supposed  

     from Siberia over the range.

Ah, you came with the High, the cold wind 

     of the amihan blowing hard; 

she said something again, and this time 

     half bird, half human, to be heard.

I'm a traveler too, on rolling wheels

     on narrow road and wide street;

while yours is the sky and all below it,

     yet choose to drop by and greet. ~
