salmon flash upstream
an urgency to breed
eggs float underwater
seed coat splits open
sprout pierces into light
leaf nodes bulge green
ripe chrysalis rips gently
wet monarch emerges
stretches sticky wings
moment of conception
multiple cell divisions
quickening in her womb
strong uterine contractions
now little hooves appear
cow licks fresh calf
mare wickers softly
new foal stands wobbly
searching for teat
chubby babe rolls over
sits up with support
takes first steps to daddy

a poem in my pocket

And the beat goes on. I love how you tied together the everyday expressions of life across creatures. Expressions so intrinsic to our nature but those of which I never tire of witnessing. Nor does our loving God.

Amen!

The beginnings of life…a treasure to watch them take that first breath and step.

Everyday miracles may go unnoticed…

Many beginnings begin brutally LYNN, but may beauty always win out eventually.

YES…thanks, Rob.

A beautiful sequence Lynn, I love all the different movements, especially those first baby steps 🙂💖 xxx

Your words are magical, the message clear; your short tercets seem to be a form, but the syllable count varies, so I wonder a bit. I enjoyed the poem regardless.
Jul 24, 2019 @ 19:27:51
No form but my own…thanks, Glenn.

The movements in nature are wonderful as you have shown so well!

May I add:
creature becomes aware
responds to love given
Creator smiles

Yes, the most vital movement is towards the Creator.
