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!

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.

True, we are honored when they seem to choose to live near to us. Sweet muse.

So cute ;) I like the way of choosing words that the mind is immediately creating images.

Thanks for your kind comment! I'm a children's poet so that's the direction the images take - tee-hee!
