Best Fledged Poems
A fledgling struggled in the wet grass
he had failed in his first attempt
...The cat wouldn’t
Circa vista under seen
life and spirit flow..
sublime outline forms
little hill folds down..
cross the valley bleating sheep
combs coombe the eyrie hawk..!

pip pip pip
pipes the fledged blue tit
after mummy blue tit
for a new tit bit
as she flew bit and bit
branch and branch tip and tip
cannot sit sit sit
chased by blue baby tit
piping pip piping pip
piping pip pip pip
full-fledged member
of the inner cycle that
exists within the realm
of the internal world
without exceptions to the rule
should have remained a valid
contributor sited amongst
the valued counsel members
instead of being ostracized and
extradited from all future encounters
WHY FULL-FLEDGED MEN BEHAVE LIKE STEEL
Men; though corpulent and full-fleshed,
We still break down and lose form.
A woman is expressive and detailed. Yes!
But men? Can't be said of a lot of them. Yeah, most definitely and absolutely undebatable!
Why we don't tell you about our day at work?
Bcos we don't want you to know that we work too hard
yet make too little compared to you or your friends.
We do not want you to worry and transmit to the kids.
After 10 hours work day or more, we come back home,
try to fix what needs to fixing without complaining
even if it cost us our health or comfort
bcos we do not want you to feel we can't handle it,
so that you trust us to think we've got it under control.
Men can be strong or stone-hearted at times
but women get overwhelmed a lot bcos of their work load.
Oh really? Well, that could be true too!
But here is a living and naked truth:
We don't let you see us get overwhelmed
Cos we want you to feel everything is okay
so that you could be comfortable and be at peace.
But it definitely does get overwhelming sometimes.
It's not manly to spend time in the shower, Mr Man!
Hmm...why we take a long shower sometimes?
Truth is, sometimes that's where we let it all out;
The pain, the disappointment, the hurt and the weight,
sometimes that's where we don't withhold our tears,
so that nobody will see us or hear us when we cry.
Tho responsibilities & expectations stay high,
just know that men still try...but men also cry.
