The Nest

My thoughts all whirl, a whoosh, and wash; through synapses a flame. Held within this crusted case, a cage, a crown, a brain. My thoughts, it seems form verse not dream and so, I seldom rest; a snap, a swirl, on I whirl, yet never leave the nest.

The protected unsuspected nest. So safe yet so confining. Love the imagery Deborah. Laurie

I really like the rhyme scheme and flow of your poem. Im getting my feet wet writing and I'm learning a lot by soaking in others work. You are a talented poet! This one says a lot about wanderlust, or the inabilty to wander at all to me. great write!
