Listen, nature’s sounds

Tis a bird making its nest

Commotion’s motion

I don’t know how it happened, how they locked me in this cage

They’re outside, chattering, while I’m stuck here, enraged

They’ve a warped sense of humor, I need time to figure this out

Somehow I have to open the door, I can’t just sit here and pout

Don’t worry, I won’t do that, I’m nothing like dogs, no way

I’m superiority at my very best, soon, I’ll make those birds pay

Three against one, a bit unfair, as in this cage, I ponder

All these hours, chatting away, is too much time to squander!

I have to stay alert, and wait, the timing must be right

A distraction would be helpful, I can’t stay in here, all night

Finally! They’ve stopped that noise, are they now asleep?

I’m trying to look around at them, I mustn’t make a peep

Looks like they’re dozing, sounds good, I think I will partake

Curling up in sweet silence…

Their squawking, gave me a headache!

Winged ones take flight, covering the sky

Leaving behind, the homes they have built

No need to feel forlorn, for they will return

Rebuilding their nests, with love, to the hilt!

Tethered Triumphs – #NovemberWriting #poetry #space

Hey down there, can you see me?

I’m waving, from way up here

Tethered, to this mechanical arm

In space, the “Final Frontier”

Surely, you cannot miss me

I’m floating around in midair

My comrades said I wouldn’t do it

So, I’m really out here, on a dare

Now comes the part that’s the hardest

Seems the shuttle was on its last trip

Can someone please come and get me?

They left me hanging in space, with no ship!
