Jo Chamberlain Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Robins

Two robins made a nest in my garage~
delusional sanctuary mirage,
looking for safety, nurture
in a house with a lurcher,
an aviary of bird poop potage

David Drowley August 24, 2022 at 12:27 PM I liked this one. Congratulations on your wording.I would have made a big mess of the bird "potage." Jo Chamberlain August 24, 2022 at 2:29 PM Thank you, I have to say it's the first time I've used that word in my work, but I think it works well. :-)

Paul Callus June 21, 2022 at 3:37 AM Probably the robins sensed that the owner was kind and friendly, Joanna! Congratulations on your fine win ~ Regards // paul Jo Chamberlain June 21, 2022 at 4:37 AM Thank you, they still come back to visit. :-)

Terry Flood June 20, 2022 at 2:56 AM Those robins can be a bit bird brained in their choice of nesting location. We had a pair nesting in our log pile. What did we do…. Bought some new logs! Congrats on your win, Joanna. Terry Jo Chamberlain June 20, 2022 at 4:30 AM Haha yes indeed. We had some fly tape in the shed and we noticed bird feathers stuck to it. They won't try eating the flies of there again.

Janice Canerdy June 19, 2022 at 3:59 PM Ewww--a reaction to the poop, not the poem. Very clever. CONGRATS on your win, Joanna. Janice Jo Chamberlain June 20, 2022 at 12:57 AM Thank you.

Robert Gorelick June 19, 2022 at 3:28 PM I like it, "an aviary of bird poop potage" sounds like an Andy Warhol or punk pop art! Congratulations on your win! Robert Jo Chamberlain June 20, 2022 at 12:58 AM Thank you. This actually happened. My garage is now an avery. :-)
