Curtis Moorman Poet Tanka

The Wonder of Creation

THE WONDER OF CREATION

A bird builds a nest
of sticks, feathers, leaves, and grass
Tiny eggs appear
They break open as days pass
Baby birds soon find the air

Time soon flits away
Baby birds, now fully grown
Spend time on the lawn
Seeking a fat worm to eat
Winter comes, birds are now gone
