the birdies fly


The birdies fly
From tree to tree
Flying low of freedom
Out from the nest

The parenting birds
Will tweet signals
Somehow the birdies understand
They stop flying staying put

On the bamboo tree
The birdies sit in a row
Looking at their freedom
Eyeing in their new world

A far cry from their nest
The close knit family unit
Staying together waiting to fly
Each will go its own way

The back lane the cats are watching
The delicious meal waiting to be caught
The birdies must know the danger on the flight
Flying low the cats will scoop them up

But the parenting birds will tweet
Loudly and sharply to the birdies
Of the danger they will face
Of the cats watching their flight

The birdies still hang around
The bamboo trees flying low
Knowing the cats will not catch them
They stay put confidently waiting to be fed
