GBR

Of course, robins' eggs are often bluish, which pairs nicely with your first line. The alliteration in the same works for me!

Sadly when the parent robins return to their nest, they will regret not hiring a babysitter to watch their 'flock.'

MDR

Another fine poem, Gypsy----and life can be tough for we all have our enemies to avoid----be it ravens or Republican law makers. Both are egg sucking bastards!

What a great haiku, Gypsy. Although ravens do eat small mammals to nesting birds, eggs and berries, they do eat several things, don't they? Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

I do understand the empty nest syndrome. Having raised four boys, the house is extremely quiet without them. I'm glad they left one at a time, but still... I enjoyed reading your poem. Again, a great package.

Gypsy,
I like your symbolism in this poem.
The ravens can be the wicked in society--both people and events.
It seems parents (the robins) have to worry about "losing" their young to questionable ideals, Internet scams, bad judgment, bd bad people.
Great metaphor!
Have a nice Sunday.
Blessings,
Cindy

I never knew that about the Raven. I know about ospreys. They will raid a nest and eat the eggs. They will eat fish or snakes. I don't think there is much that isn't on their menu. This poem made me a little sad. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

Oh dear - it's another hungry raven poem! I like the double-entendre of the "empty nest" phrase. Although when people have "empty nests", it's more a relief.

    I was very sad when my children moved out but that's life. Now I'm lucky to live with my daughter, Micaela. I see the other two a few times a year.

    Thank you, big sister (*÷*) Love you.

Virtual Six Stars! Its a little dark for me if I like it. We had a robin nest on our ceiling fan on the back patio and the mommy fed the babies now we don't see them. Hmm?? Exceptional work Gypsy!! :)) Alexan

This was a beautiful haiku, Gypsy, written with a hand of a master as usual. Loved the image and presentation.

I dont' know, maybe it's me - but your font color on that background was jarring to my eyes. Perhaps the lighter shade of text font would bring up the presentation.
