    The Empty Nest

    Flitted the pair hither and thither
    Dedicated in their endeavour
    Filled the air with their twitter
    Their project was no small matter

    Little time had they to lose
    Tugging at twigs to choose
    The right place for their nest
    A spot that shall be the safest

    The selection over execution began
    Building the nest as fast as they can
    A cosy little home neatly woven
    All their inborn skills got proven

    Pat came the eggs as expected
    And the hatching phase started
    Much resembling a penance
    Unbelievable is their patience

    Out came the awaited nestlings
    Feeble screeching hungry things
    The parents rested not a moment
    On endless food hunt they went

    The beady eyes soon opened
    A fast growth then happened
    With downy feathers and tiny wings
    Fluffy balls were those fledgelings

    Time was ripe to venture out
    Anxious moments no doubt
    To guide them the parents sweated
    And of dangers were they alerted

    The hectic training ended
    A heavy silence descended
    Do birds like humans grieve
    To see their children leave?

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
