Nest

by sibyllene   May 24, 2007


I cling to you,
you drain my life away, oh
keep it warm, oh,
keep it warm and say
you always will, my
predator of words, my capturer of verbs
and turns of phrase; though all
these many days have fallen cold,
the whisper old as withered branches sway,
the whispers say
(as you will say) you'll
keep it warm, you'll
keep my small love warm
and tucked away.

    I'll start off by saying that I couldn't choose which part of that poem I like best.

    It was all absolutely wonderful! The flow was perfect - I love it! The rhyme scheme - I'm sure many will think that it's repetitious and stupid, but I thought that it was superb...that's a good way to keep one idea firmly planted in the reader's head. The subject of the poem, whatever the nest represents kept dancing around in my brain. 'Tis a very lofty poem...short, sweet, and further to the point than many poets could reach.

    Wonderful job!
