Sunday Whirl Wordle #129 with the 12 words:

basket blinked chance clever flesh hand

nest ripe saw secret stars swept

This is a late response to the Sunday Whirl which is now 

submitted for the OpenLinkNight

The great Egret couple

Dancing hand in hand

Emerging through a misty morning

From a rain swept night of cold showers
That tugged at the raw flesh

Heavy rain that threatened the security

Accorded by its nest of twigs interlacing

Brilliantly woven in intricate fashion

In a clever way in mystical conjecture

To  welcome the next generation

of young egret chicks

In a basket of a fashionable home

Mother egret rubbed her eyes, blinked

By chance saw the reassuring presence

Of its head of the household

It was the ripe time she realized

to reveal the secret she harbored

alone for so long

With stars twinkling in her eyes

She declared proudly

Reliving that special moment

Of all mothers-to-be

‘I’m pregnant’
