Oh I shouldn’t have left that nest, these pelting water drops have zest. They’re cold and hard upon my head, if they topple this mushroom, I’ll be dead. So cold and hard, heavy they be, I wish I’d stayed within that tree. Mum and Pop said, “don’t go down there”, but, I ignored them, without a care. Now I am too wet to fly, I wish I were up, high and dry. I sit here, with my toes wet and chilly, my feathers are getting a bit frizzy. What is that pain? Is it a headache? Oh boy, I made a bad mistake.

Enjoyed this delightful poem, Dear Poet. It reminds me of parents' advice to their kids..and how at last the kids realize their mistakes. The picture is awesome too! Love ~ Mala

Poor teenage age. I wonder if he apologized would he be allowed a few more days in the nest? I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
