We're now past the half-way mark. So let's keep poeming to the finish line!
For today’s prompt, write a brave poem. There are many instances of bravery each and every day. For some, bravery is running into a burning building to save a child or jumping out of an airplane to skydive. For others, bravery is getting out of bed and going to the post office. Or writing a poem. Be brave today!

Here’s my attempt at a Brave Poem:
“brave haiku”
fledgling flycatcher
leaves the nest -- morning glories
open their blossoms
