The Fledglings
April’s offspring dream
of dancing on sunshine-lofted
currents swirling, rising
clinging to the billowing curve
of cumulus clouds. Tentative,
new-fledged wings unfold,
try the gentle breeze, testing
tender feathers, ruffled,
teetering at the nest’s edge.
Flicker-tail balanced, perched –
hungry to wet the beak,
to sprinkle feathers in the garden bath
after a fruitful morning
a stealthy cat has a nose for rain.
Holly ~ With the cool breeze bringing the sweet smells of the Spring I read your pieces inspired. Wonderful juxtapositioning of the images. Write on, please!

Thank you, Kathleen!
i love the tentative new fledged wings and billowing curve. I feel like floating away.
Thank you!
Spring offers so many wonders. I love the sound of the birds tweeting in the early morning. It often brings the BIRTH of OFFSPRING looking to explore their new world. Their fluffy FEATHERS are yet to fully form. When they do, they will UNFOLD and carry them far away to create more OFFSPRING. Often the mother and father will PERCH near the nest, taking turns to protect the new fledglings. Their BEAKS and TAILS are so tiny in the beginning. Some birds are tiny, like the Hummingbird. They love to fly around the SPRINKLE of colorful blooms spread out in the yard. It really is FRUITFUL to have so many blossoms spread out even though they tickle the NOSE. They bring these amazing tiny creatures to visit our yard. It’s fun to watch the flutter of their wings as they dip their long beaks into the blooms drinking their sweet nectar.
I feel like it’s a spring morning here as I read this, and not an early summer full of mosquitoes in Houston!
