Whose Feather Is This?

Fox and Feathers

Smells somewhat like
a bluebird I once met.
He flew off before
I could get to know
him.  This feather
is too big.  Maybe 
it belongs to an eagle, 
too big for a seagull.
Eagles are powerful,
not afraid of
any other bird.
If I was an eagle
I could fly 
to distant places.
That would be fun, but
Mom and Dad would miss me.
I'm still a pup, you know?

    Fun Sara! I had the same impression, that the little guy might fantasize about flying… 🙂
