Short Fly The Nest Poems

~We Are Family ~

Baby robins fly the nest
  Young fish swim away
Baby bucks soon sprout antlers
  No reason to stay...

Human parents are spoiled
  Our babies do not stray
They stick around for years
  ~ A price we gladly pay...

SUN SETS  
  
        Setting Sun scattering rays kissing horizon
        flashing golden glow on periwinkle sky to blush      
        pasting soft crimson patches in zest with zephyr brush.
       
     Weary bird to fly towards nest in slow moving dusk
     Whimsy torn clouds welcoming eve on dusty mask....

Wild
Wind
Rushes
Whistles on
Verdant canopy
Birds from blue fly to nest with song
Silence sings in serenading soul blooming in bliss
Panes of placid petals open on skyscape of mind serene in stillness absolute.

1. SKY

Sky
Deep blue
Shapeless cloud
Seeks sites secure
Floats to horizon.
Birds fly to nest
The grey land
Meets the 
Sky.


2. POOR AND RICH

Poor
Child dreams
Purple dreams
In dark clad mind.
Life takes full circle
Fate would bring in
Ordained time
Make him 
Rich.

3. HARD TIME

Hard
Time strikes
Lone sky falls
Future looks dark.
Go within and light
Bright divine lamp
See God makes
The mind
Strong....

One part sugar, three parts fruits
One part zest
Pasticcio: a good blend, finesse 
Outside
A Nightingale sings a sweet song
For its chicks still in the nest
 
Her toddler holds a wooden spoon 
Ornate 
A fine purchase 
"Look" 
She points 
At the empty jars 
On the window pane
 
One day 
Her toddler will fly the nest
Like feathering chicks of the mother nightingale 
Wide horizons awaits her
Now
They will mix the jam
For Jam Jar Tombola 
 
 
Yasemin Balandi...
