I build nests using poetic devices and various poetry forms – often rhymed. nests of many thoughts creatively constructed . . . birdlings I set free June 5, 2020 for Line Gauthier's Rhymes and Reasons Contest Checked by WordCounter- prose less than 40 words

you are still flawless, Andrea. Stopping by to say hi, and read one of your poems before I head back to reality. Anyways, I'm not making a comeback, before I get all the welcome back comments, like a few weeks ago. However, i will return slowly. By the way, great rhyme and reason... Clever and informative... luv Linda
