Simple Verse.20. A Robin's Nest

Rating: 5.0


Close to the woody glade
Hidden in the leafy shade
A smart robin built a nest
More like a comfy little chest

With twigs and leaves, it was made
Within it, four eggs she laid
For days she sat brooding in her nest
Indeed it was a tedious test

One by one, the eggs were hatched
And four tiny birds that closely matched
Came out breaking the freckled shell
Making the mother bird in pride swell

The mama enjoyed their sweet company
To her, boredom no more came to annoy
The nest rang with a chorus of song
It became vibrant with a happy throng

The parent birds fed them in turn
Soon for the sky, they began to yearn
At times the fledglings stuck out their heads
Longing to leave their craggy beds

They found the sky so blue and clear
Still they were under the clutches of fear
But they knew, outside the nest lay true liberty
Before them stretched infinity

No more did they hesitate
Their mama’s movements they did imitate
They splayed and spread their wings
And into the sky, took off with steady beatings!

Beautiful poem Valsa. Words are flowing so sweetly that I read each lines slowly and relishingly. I wrote a similar poem, while writing I felt sad, when at last the nest lay empty. This is the truth about life also. Beautiful presentation. Loved reading it.

The keen observation and closeness to nature is what reflects out of this juvenile write up, i must call it so as it can be recited to the kids who dream of life with open eyes...here instincts and impulses are presented as love and emotion...enjoyed a light read after a gap! thanks Valsa ji!
