Of Blue Eggs

Eggs of Blue, spring is upon us Turdidae
Of that first clutch, how many will you lay?
Aspiring from your chest a Phoenixes display
Odds are twenty-four months before they decay
But those who survive that first fateful years foray
For five or six years their spring songs will play

This is such a sweet rhyme. Good to know at least a few will survive.

Oh yes robin's eggs my favorite Easter candy LOL. Also such an underrated bird that gives us the first songs of spring in the North Star State! Best regards A.S.

This is clever. I can almost feel the breeze and blue eggs in their nest.

I love that you caught the robin reference! My muse has been very emotional as of late. I just needed something that wasn't heavy for a change :) I'm going to spend a good long while reading other people's work don't be surprised if you see more comments than poems from me. You're the first one in my crosshairs DT ;) A.S.
