What The Mother Sparrow Later Found Out... Poem by RIC BASTASA

What The Mother Sparrow Later Found Out...



under the jack fruit tree
the young sparrow's wings
are torn apart

caused by a well rounded pebble
fired from the slingshot
of the laughing
child

among his peers
he is called The Hunter...

because the young sparrow
which just alighted
from its nest
could not really fly
that high enough
