What The Chicks Don’t Know
Chicks
fuzzy
sweet
hatching from delicate eggs
following their mommy
obedient
innocent
do you know why?
No one knows.
They are
young,
never known fear,
for they know
their mommy will protect them.
They’ve never known a great fear,
something scary-
a predator.
A hawk has never swooped down on them and
swallowed them in one gulp.
I like this poem.
