Another brilliant observation of nature and its laws, captured well in these lines:
"Nature carries lessons of fatal moments.
Victims may be predators out completing
natures life cycles."
Well done, Tom.

Thank you rod.
Comment from Joan E.
Yes, you tell a good story in this Sapphic form without rhymes. Thanks for the details in your notes about the cowbird and the fine photograph. I admire your lesson about nature's life cycle and the "precarious hold of balance". Once again, your use of alliteration intensified the message. Well done- Joan

Hi, Tom
The natural world and the circle of life certainly throws up some interesting species.
The Cowbird sounds pretty much like the Cuckoo the way it leaves his eggs in another birds' nest.
I have never seen one of these Cowbirds, but the crow is my favorite bird of all.
Another interesting style of poetry which I have also never seen before.
Interesting read, Tom
kind regards

Thank you Tracy. Yes, the Cuckoo is another parasitic bird species. It was mentioned when i researched the cow bird a while ago.

Nature does what nature does. The cycle of bird eating butterfly and coyote eating cowbird. Rivers flow in their banks, but sometimes they flood because of too much water and other times it is almost like they dry up from lack of water. God designed all things well, and we need to appreciate nature as God planned it. Patricia

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Tom - a unique ending indeed! Well penned story within this one, great imagery and overall all the nature splashes of colour we often miss as we look out - Life has ways of coming full circle even for this birds young. This is the female in the picture I believe? The males have a bluish purple neck, not brown. Excellent poem - life cycles we are all part of them.
Thanks for sharing - I enjoyed this one.
