Building Nests

(a poem in 2 Senryus) We carefully choose bits of our lives that we then weave into stories. Like birds building nests, making the safe places that keep and define us.

Anais, I found your poem on the Best Poems List. It's lovely. Everyone has a story of their own, but not necessarily another's, although they think they might. Your poem begs the question, What would my story be called? Bird's nests are all so interesting and beautifully unique, the hummingbird's being one I think. What a lovely poem and a metaphor.

Really??! (best poems list) Thank you, I had no idea. I guess others will name our stories after we’re gone. Maybe we can name the chapters though. Thanks for your lovely comment.
