A Lovely Ballet

 
Deep in the forest amongst the tall trees, where all is peaceful and there is a gentle breeze; The warmth of the sun embraces the land, and the birds think of love and make a nesting plan. They restlessly search the forest for that perfect mate, with determination and vigor the males seek their fate; On a branch in the green after he performed a lovely ballet, the female is unimpressed with his grand and elegant display. "I love you!" he chirps, as she pushes him with her dainty foot, "Enough you fool!" she shrills loudly- then the love branch shook. _____________________________ December 18, 2012 Poetry/Rhyme/ A Lovely Ballet Copyright Protected, ID 12-776-047-0 All Rights Reserved.

I've often wondered about the state of bliss with birds. Thanks for the enlightenment. This behavior matches things when the human honeymoon is over. Luck in the contest. Love, daver

Love this one. I instantly related to the male bird, ha. As I read I wondered what your poem would've said of spiders. I'm weird. You're very talented. Thank you for allowing me to take a journey into your piece of art.
