Best Nest Poems

Flightless, the smallest such bird,
he’s hopping about madly now,
dexterous little feet grab what they can -
he lost his beak decades ago
to a merciless marauder drone –
here, some tiny, thorny little twigs,
there, a footful of leaves nearly blown by
among better leaves flown by.
The wind is relentless,
he’s...

Have you heard
	about the bird
Who built a nest
	with zeal and zest?

With zeal and zest
	with string and straw
It was the best nest
	you ever saw.

She took her time
	and smoothed out the creases
Then out jumped a chipmunk
	who tore it to pieces.

Natural beautiful
Newfound love, roses grow
New moon silver flashes
Nubile young, blushing cheeks
Nice guy, real charmer
Nuts about your sweet kiss
Nothing can change the love

Even in her weakness,
her adoration multiplies
oh...... the animals are also not left out
as the serpent of the wilderness
finds grace under her shadows
and the dragons of the forests
dance to her hymns.

Of all the men showcasing their might,
the strong, the rich, the mighty and the elegant;
the wise,...

Past my window
they swoop and fly.
First they're low
then they're high.

A nest they've built
in a tree
covered with ivy
so we can't see.

Ravens black
and wide of wing.
Back and forth,
food they bring

to the nest
for their young.
So at last 
Spring has sprung.

Eagerly I await
the first view
of baby ravens
shiny and new....

Secluded Lovers Nest.
.
Alone as one in our secluded nest
Made of love to be forever together
Heart to heart and heaven blessed
Lost in the cozy moment
Giving and sharing awakening blissful kisses
And sweet tender caress
.
Eliciting a deep flow of warm emotions
And exquisite mounting sensations
Freedom to express what mere...

I can't wait to have that empty nest
that peace and quiet
days of rest
texts and emails can tell
that everyone is doing well
I can sit in the garden and text you back
enjoy the quiet
ice tea and a book
I'd have the dog all to myself
maybe I'll get another...

Sun
Rises
Into the
Gray, white and blue
Where the bird once flew
Not fully recognized
For all the achievements made
But a purposeful flight taken
Will lift other souls who took the time
To stand by the values of the home nest

What tales your leaves must whisper
of youths tall in your strong arms.
Pretending to be pirates
in a terrible, fierce storm.

Or lovers in your shadows
making vows they sometimes kept;
dreamer's secret hideaway,
underneath leaves, young boys slept.

Many years honed your boldness,
growing taller, stronger, blest.
You were proud to play sentry
standing...

All newborns move from womb to crib;
and toddlers leave the floor to play in yards.
Most youngsters go from home to school,
learning a new milieu some with ease.

Our kids both young and old contend with space.
While teens assemble, needing gangs and groups,
our college students age as...

A life moves on
The empty space
A vacancy
The smile missed face

The heartfelt ache
The hopeful joy
Of knowing birds
Must wings deploy

The silent cloak
Of no-one there
Is draped on shoulders
Poised to bear

A voice, a note
Would lift the heart
Small gesture to
The soul impart

Some comfort
In the knowing that
The gloss of memory
Not turned...

~The Cradle~

Leafless arms extend full length.
Embracing in their curves an empty cradle
Tucked into a cozy arbor still lingering
With the scent of apple blossoms full grown
Crafted from borrowed twigs, a stolen yellow ribbon and
Pillows of soft green moss
That cradled three tiny eggs, color borrowed from the...

there still are the chirps 
in the nest
on a bleak winter tree

Fly high like an eagle,
don't be a seagull in the sea,
don't be ashamed to realese your concerns instead to keep them inside.

Let your worries to be known,
give them wings instead to cut them to be free.
Don't make a refuge to yourself, but give a refuge...
