Nightingale


Noone seems to care

What a nightingale looks like -

Sturdy, solitary


Skulks in undergrowth

Dull brown and cream, nothing much

For humans to admire -


But ah! what sweet song

From dawn to dusk, and onward

To midnight and beyond!


A superstar, no less!

The voice of sleepless lovers

Lighting up the night!
