On a Robin’s Nest

Melissa Payne Baker http://www.thingsthatinspire.com

In the fork

of the branch in a tree

the robin builds a nest

Twig by twig

Strand of twine

by strand of twine

Does it consider

evaluation of its craft?

Does an inspector come

to see if it is by the code? 

Break Free

Watch the countdown, wish time away.
We stay, stuck planning, not moving.
For our hesitation we’ll pay,
as prey sat motionless, losing.

Nightmare

I feel your

Ice

Cold

Fingers

Creeping up my spine
Stealing away my night
