Laura Leiser Poet Tanka

Perils of Nature

spring bursts into life
                                
                                     nesting birds chirp and twitter

                                        guard their eggs like pearls

                                 hatched, chicks feed while prey watches

                               weak chick falls, snatched, strong survive

I've been observing a few bird nests in our patio, and unfortunately, a chick did not survive. It is sad, but a part of life.
