behind the shadow
the cacophony pauses
suddenly silent

A Clever Hen & a Cocky Rooster
Hoping to be alive to see their babies hatch, the cackling bunch of clever hens gathered in the shade of their favorite hutch to hatch a secret plan. But first they argued over whether they should ask that cocky rooster crowing in the yard to join their covert club.
“No,” said Henrietta Hen, “he’ll just claim the floor and crow and crow and crow,” but Mimsy Chicken and her coterie of clucking pullets called for a vote. (They not-so-secretly craved the approval of that cocky crowing rooster.) Henrietta lost and the cocky rooster took the lead.
Now they’re all poultry.

Today’s six sentence / 100 word story was doubly inspired by Friday Fictioneers’ fabulous photo and Girlie On the Edge’s Six Sentence word prompt of HATCH.
Hope you enjoy.
I see a budding bloom
I see a budding bloom
wafting in the breeze
Its petals beckon to the bees
like the newly wedded groom
I see a budding bloom
Gazing towards the trees
a blossom hopes to please
Like the new bride’s swoon
I see a budding bloom
Night comes in like a tease
And the flower feels unease
But under the light of the rising moon
I see a budding bloom

the beauty of uncertainty
for a moment pause
in quiet uncertainty
on a path unknown
my eyes
contemplating you
in the garden of my mind
my eyes on your skin
