A home built high
Upon a tree
Once held the young
Now sits, empty

They’ve flown away
A world to see
Oh how I wish
They, were me

I’d fly above
This world, unrest
A silent tear
Shed on my quest

Then cry aloud
At my own behest
Won’t someone join me
In this nest?

Where we can heed
From one, above
The somber coo
Of a mourning dove

Who fears humanity
All hate, thereof
She prays that Earth
Will find her love

Where once a man
Was born, so free
Taking pride in all
This majesty

Let’s fly away
Perhaps we’ll see
Just how beautiful
This world could be

Tiny bird

Nestles in snuggly

Perches high

On prickles

Weaving room enough for one

Contented alone

Listen, nature’s sounds

Tis a bird making its nest

Commotion’s motion

Tethered Triumphs – #NovemberWriting #poetry #space

Hey down there, can you see me?

I’m waving, from way up here

Tethered, to this mechanical arm

In space, the “Final Frontier”

Surely, you cannot miss me

I’m floating around in midair

My comrades said I wouldn’t do it

So, I’m really out here, on a dare

Now comes the part that’s the hardest

Seems the shuttle was on its last trip

Can someone please come and get me?

They left me hanging in space, with no ship!

Silly Lily – #NovemberWriting #poetry

Little Lady Lily, such a silly forest sprite

Got stuck in a tree, and stayed there all night

Til a bird landed on her, but it couldn’t speak elf

Lady Lily didn’t care, she’d have to teach it herself

Soon, many feathered friends, learning the words

Did pass them along, to all the other birds

The little forest creatures, kept chattering away

Seems all this time, they’d had an awful lot to say

Lady Lily didn’t care, decided to build a new home

Up in the tree, a little nest, the only one, with a dome
