thriveni c mysore Poet Free verse

First flight of eaglet

The first stretch of wings
Is when you make it flap
Oh, don't you lose balance
You really can make it, that's for sure

You're not to be afraid
You're not to be afraid

The second you hop
Know it is coming
The first step of flying
Is when you take it easy
The first step of flying
Is feeling at ease.

Time after time, I tell you follow me
Time after time, I wait till you are ready

The first flight we need to see
The first flight little one
The first flight I need to see

The last step of flying
Is when you fly below me
There is still lot to learn
But I will teach you, all that I know

The first flight I need to see
It is a sure test to me as your mom

Time after time, eagles fly high
Time after time, we eagles fly high

The first stretch of wings
The first flight of young
The first hunt of young
Makes us best parent eagles.

David Crandall July 16, 2024 at 7:05 AM Beautiful poem. If we all had teachers like the eagle moms in your poem, I bet we would all fly high. thriveni c mysore July 16, 2024 at 8:16 PM It is surprising to know that birds take parenting seriously. It is wonderful to know the bird kingdom, they put many of us to shame when it comes to mothering. so endearing. thank you for this happy visit dear poet. Cheers.

Valsa George July 3, 2024 at 4:37 AM It needs courage and daring to take the first step. Once the eaglet flaps its wings and hops, it has passed the first test. Once it feels at ease, it is ready to fly into the air. The mother will be there by its side giving it direction. Soon it will soar higher and higher to dizzying heights. Lovely poem, dear Thriveni. thriveni c mysore July 3, 2024 at 4:53 AM You said it well. Thank you so much for your kind visit dear poet. I am glad you liked it. Blessings & cheers.
