A fragile robin’s egg lies in my path, unbroken
about forty-five feet below it’s mother’s nest.

lovely poem. tell me more about the Robin. I have many many Robins in my garden, they are all lovely, even the scruffy ones.
The miracle of a moment that is moving and meaningful has a way of motivating us to do marvalous yet strange things. Wonderfully written.
Hi, This poem is something. You use good imegry wich alows the reader to see what is going on. Nicely written. A.
A nice write, a natural and deep theme and the sense of responsibility. It is good Sir.
Absolutely delightful Cherly, loved the meaningful brevity. Warmly, Jerry
Nice write, Cheryl. It might be better in the third person, then again might not.
I came across a baby bird that had fell from its nest, only to pass it by while rushing to class, and find it later dead, only to find out later that one of my young student's had a hobby at home of nursing birds. if only I had picked it up.
A perfect coinin of words that brings about compassion.Very rich Cheryl.You have a heart of gold..keep doin what you know best..
I think that it's very good I like how you write. take care Wendy
I can tell this poem took some intricate devising to create such a free flowing and transparent piece. I love the comparison between the unending care of the birds young after hatching, and helping the children out of their 'shells'. This is altogether lovely and unforgettable.
What a nice poem! I used to have blue birds nesting in my house every year. I know how precious were those eggs to them and me. The attention tendered to the disabled and autistic children is also very demanding. Good work and good poem.
Brings back memories of finding robin's eggs as a child. delicately written about a delicate situation.
poignant juxtapositioning, tender and understanding, Whitman's free verse ringing true 10 well done!
Yeah, the power of free verse that can sink to the free, fragile minds of our time. I like the flow of thoughts.
Sir, You are so kind hearted and humane......I can see from your poems and your job. Another great piece from you. Kudos to you and your wonderful poetry..........10++++++++
Aplogies Cheryl for not responding sooner to your stunning poem, I'm speechless. Warmly, Jerry
