Sudden strike
From impish hand
The nest shatters
The fledgling hits ground
The monkey hops away
After committing the crime
Never even looks back.
Frantic parents screech
The little one returns
The fear of parents,
Patiently they coax him
To leave the ground
And join them in branches.
A group of monkeys made a hurricane tour in the neighbourhood, no one knows who was the culprit, the older ones or the little ones hopping around, swinging from branches to branches, but the damage was done, deliberately or accidentally.
The baby Myna discovered himself on ground, the panic stricken parents instantly joined him, the little one could barely hop, but the parents kept trying and trying.
The patient paid off, the little one soon landed on a branch and the next day they took him far away, on another tree.
The accident that might have harmed the little fledgling made him a better flyer at the end, now he follows parents around from one roof to other, like an expert flyer.
A bookworm transformed into an addicted writer. I love to write and illustrate them myself. By love I mean love, no half-hearted relationship, a full-fledged, passionate love, I can’t pass two days in a stretch without writing/painting (cyber), just feel empty like lovers do when their lovers are away on a tour!
Even though I am thoroughly enjoying self-publishing with amazon, but if you like my work and want to publish my works in your magazine, books or better if you want to publish a book of my works please make me very happy by contacting me.
Or if you want to sell my works on commission basis only!! contact me, I will be quite relieved. Honestly writing and selling your own work is a very BORING combination. So you are more than welcome!

I love this wisdom. 🙂
Thanks a lot Lisa, that means a lot!
WE can learn from different types of events in our lives…so very true.
totally agree.
Is Shalik and Myna same? We have lots of them here but didn’t know there name. I remeber monkey menace when we were in Jabalpur and Orrissa. Nice writing.
they look similar but are not same I have heard, mynas can be taught speaking but shaliks don’t learn speaking human words.
