NaPoWriMo (# 17):Welcome Home..

A pile of dried grass and a sprig of hedge,

on my first floor window ledge.

As April heat coaxes a rest,

You choose my house for your nest.

And my silent loneliness so bitter…

Is shattered by your happy chatter.

So come, O little squirrel..

Stay with me, be my pal.

Now no need to roam..

You are here, Welcome Home!

Today’s optional prompt was to write a poem of greeting. I hope this one is right.

NaPoWriMo (# 16): The nest

Each twig , each twine

knocked down by the swinging pine..

Labor of love lost, destroyed.

Loneliness,

Emptiness,

emphasized…

Needed was no more the nest..

Away flew the fledglings,

On a brand new quest.

Only a moment to rue…

And away the brave bird flew..

To gather a new twig , a new twine..

A new nest for her new bloodline.
