insatiable
baby robins prick summer air
with a start from an outgrown nest-
their tiny bodies, downy fair.
the morning light lends warmth
to these small wings newly aware
of that symphony soul emerges.
they hold unsuspecting grasps midair
as an echo of circles peal with zest-
two claws snatch dew laden grass fare.

and then the cat eats it? …right?
michelle, yesterday morning I spied a mother robin beneath the silver maple, covering two young, their heads sticking out from each wing… Thanks for reminding me of that found poem.
Lovely, Michelle, even the claws! Our baby phoebes have left the nest, but we’re hoping for another clutch before summer’s end.
The first and last lines, amazing.
Great rhyme scheme
