They said I was born to fly
But
It might break me
I may fall
I am afraid
Stop!
I can’t

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

So succinct and nicely done!
Short and sweet, with a great message about how our fears can hold us back!
love this poem. It's an analogy on life in many ways, as we are too afraid to take flight in our lives and stay stuck or safe.
great entry into the challenge. I'm just sitting here thinking what it would be like to be a bird that was afraid to fly. I have a feeling the thought is going to be like a song you hear and can't get out of your head the rest of the day. lol
Great take on this, I am finding this challenge very difficult because it means I have to think
Beautiful!
I have a question I posted my story. How long does it take for it to get approved? I knew to the platform. And that's a nice bird.
You are so good at these! Beautiful! 🤍
