Flash Fiction, tutto e niente

A Clever Hen & a Cocky Rooster

Tina Stewart Brakebill

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.

I see a budding bloom

Tina Stewart Brakebill

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
