Hide and seek

Oh pretty green parrot,
My noisy little neighbour,
You love creating a racket
And hiding in the trees’ cover

But look! This morning,
As the rays fell on trees auburn,
They looked alight in fire,
Shedding leaves turn by turn.

Oh poor pretty green parrot,
My noisy little neighbour,
You were rather quiet today,
Having lost your hiding cover.

As I enjoy the silence,
That autumn mornings bring…
I know you are plotting and waiting,
For summer to hide and sing!
