Diablotin,
you little devil!
You’re so far from being evil…
Your behaviour
does not inspire terror:
Uncanny
you may be,
uncalculating, uncaged…
It’s your instinct –
A basic,
nothing preternatural,
not diabolical…
Maybe pixilated;
’tis just your breed…
Some have not heard
that you are just a local bird.

thought it was morne diablotin….lol
Like the flit and flutter of Diablotin’s wing…magnificent and begging of further view. Well done Les Li, aka Lion Art!
A local bird
So I have heard
But
Do you know its cry
And have you seen it fly?
Yes I, today’s lesson. Sweet and intetesting
History recall
you’ve said it all
Diablotin a bird?
Surprised? Few have heard…
Nice, lots of folks have forgotten this bird, Diablotin. This piece is like a nature lesson my friend. Schooling all those who had no clue – Diablotin was a bird first!
Les Li,all along I thought the Diablotin, was devilish!!…A lovely comforting piece,that it is a exotic bird…Wonderfully written…
Tell them
