New life on the wing (a HAIKU WEEKLY entry)

First Flights


Shells crack, then open -
life's first battles fought and won,
down ruffles gently

small wings twist and flap
in each leafy bowl on high -
down drifting downward

small forms dive and dart,
each tree holding a victor -
spring becomes summer
