Well done Donna! I love the first part - the push out of the nest and the bird's realization ' I can do this!' A couple of pickies: St. 1, L. 2 the word is spelled 'peeking.' In a couple of places the rhythm is off- St. 3 L. 3 and St. 6 the rhythm changes, but then reverts back in next st.(perhaps ok). But the rhythm is also off in the last two lines of the poem - where I think it's important that nothing get in the way of the 'punch line.' A suggestion: "I know that you've much more for me / I beg you Lord, teach me to fly." ...or you'll probably have a better thought. ~ Violet
