A Picnic In a Bird's Nest

A picnic in a bird's 
nest
cradled by the branch of a 
tree,
under the shade of green 
foliage
among birds in a picnic 
spree!

Cradled by the branch of a 
tree
sitting in the warmth of 
velvet nest,
among birds in a picnic 
spree
feeling lucky to be their 
guest!

Sitting in the warmth of 
velvet nest
listening to their sweet 
song,
feeling lucky to be their 
guest
among them for a whole 
day long!

Listening to their sweet 
song
dancing with them a little 
bit,
among them for a whole 
day long
enjoying their homely 
treat!

Dancing with them a little 
bit
sharing their joy and grief,
enjoying their homely 
treat
it is sure a grand picnic!

Sharing their joy and grief
under the shade of green 
foliage,
it is sure a grand picnic
a picnic in a bird's nest!

Hi Kash The one description I like the most in this poem is the velvet nest-I have seeeeen many nests as a kiddo growing up beside a large wooded area...velvet is a great way to describe the contents of their little abode. Congrats on this win. Gwendolen
