Explore Life a #poetryport gift for every child never too afraid to fly #writingcommunity #literacies
With each door
creak
three birds
burst
from small pines framing
broken stairs greeting our house
startled steps on
crumbling
concrete
as they take to the sky
Now there is
one
matted feathers
tossed like first
snow
on our muddy green
lawn
missing winters
frozen nuzzle
Each spring,
in those same shrubs
we watch nests grow
witnesses to watch
every egg die
I would hate to explore
life as these birds
but then again
they get to fly.
