Flower Pot

You could have picked a sturdy branch In the maple tree. You could have picked the birdhouse Or a place near the chimney. Perhaps a bush, perhaps the brush Might be where you'd feel best, But still it's nice you chose my pot To build your lacy nest!

Hello Raven, the robin built their nest in my hanging planter. So i never went near the nest. Until they flew away. it amazes me how the nest was built. That nest held 3 babies birds. Enjoy your day my friend.

True, we are honored when they seem to choose to live near to us. Sweet muse.

This made me smile. I have a hanging basket that gets a dove nest every year. This is perfect in it's mystery until the last lines. ~Jan

So cute ;) I like the way of choosing words that the mind is immediately creating images.

Thanks for your kind comment! I'm a children's poet so that's the direction the images take - tee-hee!
