Little Robin
"The little robin could take up space confidently"
An American Robin perched
on a leafless bough,
seemingly content
with its place,
spreads its wings,
left to right,
and takes flight,
exposing its body,
the colors that lay hidden
surprising those who didn't believe
the little robin could take up space confidently
while soaring through the air.

I have a deep fascination with birds and I love watching them fly around outside my window. I've always marveled at how confidently these little creatures can take off for flight and I've dreamed about what it would feel like to be as awesome – this poem is a product of that curiosity.
