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
