a parrot

In a pretty little garden lined with bouginvilla, sprinkled with olive, citrus and apple trees, there stands among these a big strong gum tree. The shiny green leaves glint with the evening sun. Little birds chirp and play between the branches. I sit sipping a glass of cool orange juice looking over the red tiled rooftops in the heart of Rome. Suddenly i catch a flash of bright green from the corner of my eye.. and wonder.. could it really be parrot. When was the last time is saw one .. !! As i fix my gaze on the tree, all is still. And then in one magical movement and rustle and a shuffle and then in a flash it flies out and into the sky. A graceful green parrot it definately is!
