Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Poetry Is a Baby Bird Hatching

Growing too big for the egg
It pushes out 
With all its strength and might
So naive of the outside world
Yet so determined to push through the shell
And leave its comfort zone
To see new world

Scribbles, tinkles, sprinkles, twinkle twinkle

Innocent eyes see the light
The feathers make little moves
The legs straighten out
The beak toughen
Making little sounds

Songs of freedom, songs of new dawn, songs of flight

Mama bird guides it through
Feeding styles
Hunting tactics
Feelings of depthness
Staying active

Lessons of, reasons to, seasons for

It heeds the advice
It follows its instincts
And lets the words flow
Far beyond the paper
Like a baby bird
Growing and flying higher
