The Nest

THE NEST

One does not invade another’s nest
When so Lovingly placed
The string and twig entwined
in such seamless haste

No need for basement
nor sidewalks to
No need for windows nor a door
no purpose for a flue

The down be it’s furniture
The limb it’s only beam
Would God’s intention be for us
his most gentle scheme.

Hello Skat.. forgive me for being tardy in answering you. I rarely visit this site. Busy is just an excuse and the only one I have. ha I read a few of your poems and made my comfy chair more comfortable. Rather shy about sharing my poems. People have turned Love to larceny and it left me branchless. They did what they thought best. Not really familiar with this site and not sure if what I do is correct. Write me anytime. email is also [email protected]
