The remaining baby bird took a bit longer, but finally worked its way partly out, then took a little nap, then worked its way further down, then got out too...

One of the baby birds slowly but surely worked its way out of the nest and then tried to fly again...

Happy October! The NEW Anniversary Issue of Stirring: A Literary Collection has arrived and includes two of my "Not a Baby Doll" poems!

"Maybe those baby birds answered a question
in a way that the wind didn't like
and then received a short response,
a simple "Never mind",
before they were flung
out of their nest
and ignored

and replaced
with an unmoving doll."

from one of my two "Not a Baby Doll' poems within the new October issue of Stirring
