Baby Bird

I fell in love with writing poetry many lifetimes ago in high school.  I love the vivid imagery that succinct lines offer.  I came across this little one that I wrote when Lizzi was a babe and wanted to share it here.  As I read it I'm instantly transported back to her sweet babyhood remembering how she was as a nursling.

  

 Baby bird

     such big blue eyes

    head bobbing

   mouth open

 close

  open

small chirps

and then feeding frenzy.

Baby bird

     such big blue eyes

       snuggle down under my wing

     secure in our warm nest

      rest my sweet little babe.
