Okay, okay, everybody, I sort of hedged on this work of fiction, got it from another dream...

She gives birth, While soaring above, The sands of the shore, Her offspring flies to the sand… She drifts above momentarily, Seeing that the young does arrive, She knows for now it is a battle, Just for the first weeks to survive… Fear in her progenies call, But he must learn the way of the sand, As he did when out of the sky he did fall, Burrows in the sand, till he does of maturity grow, Lives there even when the ocean does above over-flow… © ed ~ 3/14/11

Every bird must learn to fly or they will surely die. And, flying is not the answer either. They must learn a lot in their first year or not make it to a second.

Some good advice here.

LOL not going to touch this one as the previous reviewers covered it but...in your defence...you did say it was from a dream and hell, who knows maybe it could happen.

What the????
Bombs away egg laying?

Wow, this sure reminded me of Brother Edvard's tale, the day he brought you home to Ma. He always said he found you with your head sticking out of the sand!

I think you got the animal planet show confused with Newton's apple. Gravity is not kind to an egg unless.....unless.....it's part of Sarah Palin's new cooking show, omelets on the fly with a side dish of pork lips. Patrick

Okay, Ed, this is a new one on me. She drops her egg or a fully formed little one and it lands in the sand and digs itself a hole to hide in for awhile? Sounds like a tough way to come into this old world.

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>
