Mocking Bird

Mocking bird sitting on a twig
Filling his craw with those ripe figs
Babies are grown flown from home
All that responsiblity long gone, gone

Short poetry, great imagery of nature! Sweet rhymes. I love short poetry! For some reason, short poetry seems to have a stronger connection to the reader. Perhaps it's the talent of the poet! Keep up the great work! Milt

Ahhh, lovely image, Sara! As "babies" leave the nest, both families and birds can give more attention to their own needs. A delightful read! Love, carolyn
