nesting – Leaf And Twig

Birds At The Box

tending and guarding
the vigilant work
of parenting

phoebe
on her nest
of moss and dryer fluff

as she sits
creation is constructed of
stillness and patience

during their stroll
around the melt pond
the final word is hers
it is still too early for nesting

building on the fly
Mrs Robin takes advantage
of abundant construction materials

A nest awaits
the feathered promise
of new beginnings.
