Notes About The Poem
I painted myself into a corner with this one with the choice of words..I left it for maybe a lesson in what not to do..I was thinking of what baby birds look like at first coming out of the egg..A creature that only a mother can see potential..Sara

Spring Birds

Tiny Whiny Shiny Veiny In spring birds have tiny whiny child With skin that is shiny veiny mild
