Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: One Day

A nest
let’s take a peek.
Two eggs, been there
for over a week.
Safe place
the parents picks
just right
to hatch chicks.

One day

A squawk
an anxious need
hurry up
more feed.
Hope that
Dad can speed
hurry up
more feed!

Oh that noise
quieten best
settle down
Sit on the nest!
Now you two
go to sleep
close eyes
not a peep.

Peace at last

Weekly Prompt Wednesday Challenge: Wait
Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Plan

They got together
and made a plan
gather some
grass, feathers
even moss

Next was to
lay eggs….
so far
the plan was
going well

Now to sit
to wait
to sit
to wait
sit some more

Look this way
look that
but still
sit
and wait

One day
which seemed
an eternity
a crack
a peep

Oh dear
always hungry
can’t wait
just look at them
just hear them
always hungry

I just have
to ask
do you have
this going on
every day

Do you know
what I mean?
You make a plan
you wait
you are tired
Do you know
what I mean?

Here’s to two
