30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS  (13+) WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus #1786069 by Fivesixer

We’re in the final countdown of the competition! Only five prompts remain. For this final Creation Saturday, write about something that’s in its final countdown. Have fun!

Pigeons Final Countdown

Open the front door
and listen to the pigeons
counting down the final days of winter.

The sparrows are shivering silently in their nest,
but the pigeons know that spring is coming soon,
so they are counting down the final day of winter,
and hoping Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his shadow.

Mojave Max hasn't emerged from his burrow,
so maybe spring is not so close at hand,
but the pigeon don't give a damn.

Pigeons don't care what other animals think,
they have their own final countdown to spring;
they feel the urge to mate,
and to lay and brood the next generation.

The pigeons have begun
the final countdown to spring,
with their cooing mating calls.

Creation and destruction

God spoke BE
and the nothingness of nonexistence
ways destroyed.

A painter placing paint
upon a white canvas,
and the plain canvas is destroyed,
while a beautiful picture is created.

A seed is placed in the ground,
the seed is destroyed
when it puts out roods and a shoot,
while a fruit tree or a flower is created.
