I have seen dolphins gliding by
One enchanted afternoon in Pondy
And a barn owl
One chilly day at twilight
I have waited months to catch sight
Of flamingoes for the first time
I have endured a rickety bus ride
To spot a family of wild elephants
I have glimpsed the splendour of
A dancing peacock
I have spotted
Golden orioles and magpies aplenty.

Yet today the common kingfisher I saw
Captivated me more than anything else
Because it was perched outside
my window in the concrete jungle.
