Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Nesting

November skies bare all
Perched precociously 
Up stark naked branches
The old abandoned nest

Hatchlings of yesteryear
Outgrow familial nest
Leaving warm comfort behind
To spread their wings

Freely roam expanse of sky
Set forth on their adventures
Explore and forge new nests
Procreating the cycle of life
