Blackbirds

a flock of blackbirds
take flight
surprised
a giggling toddler delights
in her own power

Creative one. Some toddlers would be afraid some would be looking in wonder. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for the visit to my page. Our son-in-law has been diagnosed with gallstones. They are keeping him overnight in the hospital. Sara
