Free Verse: Mother’s Image

Needy nest cries for her care and attention
Watching her wings that leave, hearing her rustling returns
Dependent nestlings instinctively eye her every move
About to fledge, chicks feel her warmth as she nestles close
Have demanded her food and protection
Time to leave her and their cradle
Off they fly with mother’s image

Cinquain: Winter birds

Fluff up
Puff up feathers
Birds will ruffle feathers
Downy feathers insulating
Warming
