New Nest

NEW NEST 

Before sun awakes,
she decorates sky as first guest,
unlike huge house of bricks,
she encamps in niggling nest.

Before lily pop mouth out of petals,
like queen she twerks in all weathers,
unlike pricy vehicles,
she wallows in faithful feathers.

Before our breakfast flog from kitchen to table,
she chunk up snaps of food over miles,
unlike we hang heavy bags to children as morning gift,
she brings to kids a wisp of smiles.

Before bells of temples ring,
she tweet and sing on domes,
unlike drafting shorelines to religion and race,
cities to cities a bird roams.

After the world sleeps,
thanks to thee she chants in lay,
unlike going to bed with flaws of today and plans of tomorrow,
she prays another adventurous day.

when storm of wind whisks her nest away,
home she tailored by bits without rest,
unlike giving up,
she gets in making new nest.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

ayushi pradhan, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thanks! I feel great to be a part of this forum. Well i write since 10th std. I started writing just to let my feelings out but slowly it became an addiction. And now I am looking forward for more exposure in field of writing journels and short stories. I write in simple though stressing words and mostly bring out contrast. Thanks for your views again!
