Nerida's Nest

Glide of Falcon broken, channel smoothed Transmission snap equals idle start Dysfunctional gypsy destitute Tricky situation screams for bird to depart Tear away from failure with a free heart Feathers propell her across the Caribbean Flotsam washed up on shore Cottesloe Beak weapon a compass to onyx oblivion Binoculars barely detect tiny Como below Jacobs Well regular fades beside posh Calypso Ukelele strum seductively ruffles her plumage Zephyr lift of anonymity instantly relaxes Foreign terminus lures with image elusive Sandy sanctum camps where regret collapses Wigwams woven from Falcon's broken axis Spit roast sizzles sin, black chunks blown away dust Foil wrapped worry falls apart, ceases to matter Scaffold stands bold though basic, vehicle rust Drives psyche to triumph taut sail regatta Egg whip pillow sips cocktails in Coolangatta Gigantuan coast plays host to plumage patched Bandaged beak hushed satiated dulcet Fishnet fascination fetched her finest catch Predator snatches status over physical impulses Prey clamped in cabaret calibre talons convulses 23rd May Bird can stay
