Raven Howell Poet Rhyme

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!

Darlene De Beaulieu March 1, 2022 at 11:01 AM 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.

Lotte Lo April 7, 2015 at 7:07 AM So cute ;) I like the way of choosing words that the mind is immediately creating images. Raven Howell April 7, 2015 at 7:19 AM Thanks for your kind comment! I'm a children's poet so that's the direction the images take - tee-hee!
