The first day of a college lecture.
A chapter in the book For the Birds
Dr. Bluejay
by mermaids
entering the lecture hall
making my way to the front row anxious to begin graduate school ornithology my passion a bluejay on the podium parading back and forth blue wings spread out I close my eyes then open them again it does make sense who would teach about the birds? a bird of course Dr. Bluejay introduces himself explaining the syllabus then orders the class outside he flies leading the way instructing his students to record all observations about the bluejays looking back at us test at the end of our excursion Dr. Bluejay carries the exams in his beak I thank the winged professor for his time he warns me to prepare for tomorrow's lecture when we visit condors leaving the lecture hall racing to the library to read up on condors a flutter in my stomach tells me that Dr. Bluejay will take the class to another world. |

As usual, I have gone off the deep end. When I began this book, I started writing nature poems about birds but the fantasy part of me kicked in. And it is not even the middle of winter yet, when I usually lose it. Enjoy.
