From the book: “The Indian Green Parrot“
Kianush’s poem “The Indian Green Parrot” beautifully captures the vibrant imagery of an exotic bird, full of stories and experiences from distant lands and lush jungles. The poem invites readers to imagine the parrot’s colourful past, where it once soared freely, witnessing the wonders of nature, basking in the sun, and enjoying the festive atmosphere of the wild. However, now trapped in a cage, the parrot’s ability to share these tales has been reduced to merely repeating the words it hears, devoid of its former vitality and spirit.
The poem teaches Children a profound lesson about the importance of freedom and the sadness of captivity. It encourages young minds to consider the feelings and experiences of other creatures, fostering a sense of compassion and understanding. The imagery of the parrot, once full of life and now confined, serves as a reminder of the value of letting living beings express themselves freely and the tragedy that occurs when their voices are suppressed.
طوطی سبز هندی
،طوطی سبز هندی
،از جنگلها میآیی
با قصّههای شیرین
.به شهر ما میآیی
حتماً با این سوادت
صد تا استاد گرفتی؛
وگرنه قصّهها را
!از کجا یاد گرفتی
،قصّهٔ ابر و آفتاب
قصّهٔ باد و باران؛
قصّهٔ جشن جنگل
.در شادی بهاران
امّا الان تو قفس
خلقت کمانم تنگ است؛
:توی دلت میگویی
!دل آدمها سنگ است
با صد ادا و اطوار؛
،با یک زبان الکن
هر چه به تو میگویم
.تو هم میگویی به من
