Nesting Poems - Poems about Nesting

Nesting

There’s a faded blue tarp
On an old pile of wood 
For a fireplace no longer used. 
Though my hearing’s not sharp, 
I thought maybe I could 
Hear a strange sound that got me confused.

So I opened the door,
Seeing if I could find
If a creature was making that scritch 
And before I looked more,
There to pay

Premium MemberSky Nesting

Earthbound and chained to flesh is ok 
I've enjoyed the physical things and sensations of this world
although when evil hisses and persists, 
I wish to pack a hobo bag and leave it

When I look up at the bejeweled night sky
I know for certain that that is where I really belong
unburdened by the demands of the

Premium MemberThe condo Kookaburra's

Every thing was fine.
No one complained, and then
one fated day the Kooka burra's came..
People who never learned to keep in their own lane.
They never read our regs., which is very plain,
at first they claimed one half the parking in their own name..
Mr. Kook's crochety, petty, and a bully.
Mrs. Kook's gossipy and engages in tom foolery..
The

Premium MemberHouse Wrens Outside My Window

In the garden's quiet corner,
Amidst the gentle rustle of leaves,
House wrens diligently weave their nests,
A labor of love in the springtime air.

Each twig and blade of grass carefully chosen,
Crafted with precision and purpose,
To create a sanctuary, a haven,
For new life to emerge and thrive.

With each flutter of wings,
A story unfolds,
Of resilience, of hope,
In the cycle

Nesting

I will never be extinct, but I do nest
with the dodos
We all come from the same existence,
the same timeless egg.

The dodos sing to me, their voices,
are unpleasant to the ear, but
their future is eternal,
as long as I keep listening.

Once I lived in a hole in a tree
with my parents,
the tree is dead now,
yet its spirit

Premium MemberThe Daffodils’ Song to Nesting Robins

In spring's caress, daffodils hum low,  
Robins weave nests as rain begins to flow.  
Gentle drops fall, a lullaby so sweet,  
In rhythms soft, where earth and sky meet.

Daffodils' song, ever so brief in time,  
Fades beneath rain's melodious chime.  
Yet in this moment, life anew is blessed,  
As

Nesting

Few people there were,
the day was slipping gently
into rising pools of twilight.
Passing city lights
winked
behand stands of trees.

Here is a family of walkers,
how like birds they appear?
Their young, sleepily following,
tethered by feathers of light
in the silent dark.

Over there, a little apart,
birdlike,
a man and his spouse talk in low tones
their words peck unheard.
We are all here,
speaking between

Premium MemberNesting Life Cycle

As I settled down, I sowed the seeds of love in my children.
My inner urge grew with them, separating our lids.
On passion, empathy, and respect, a delightful interlude 
I appreciated them throughout their youth.

My hard work was rewarded, and I'm overjoyed.
It felt more valuable than what I had knighted.
Everyone is raising children in their own

Bald Eagle's Nesting Elegance

Craving for rats awhile 
grippingly standing, leaded by the stomach; 
Barks the hen over the Eagle’s tragedy 
lands the hit on the mountain beak 
sneaking the eye on shadows awhile; 
Heading for the shadowy stones, 
the Bald Eagle stuns the Hen awhile! 
 
Captain hen jumping over awhile; 
Here comes the talking break in a

diligent digging
squirrel’s nesting for Winter
determined breakthrough 
but the squatter’s unwanted

They move, quick and sure,
In a line, they cross the road
Like short, grey gentlemen

The noise that protests
Screeching vigilantly, violently
Like a relentless cough
Echoes on the edges of fences
That edge the pastures

They savor the ticks and mosquitoes
Lingering a little at the puddle
Caused by a hard rain just yesterday

The candor that gives them
Almost a enchanted demeanor
Causes the turkeys

Premium MemberNesting Swallows

After winged flight at dusk the swallows rest
I hear their chirping inside my tallest chimney
Where they have found their perfect nest.

The swallows of late do not think me friendly
For chilly air has prompted the fireplace lighted
Without intention to treat the nesting birds unkindly.

Held off as long I could to keep the swallows unindicted
Even while the
