NEST BUILDERS
Whistling together on the branch of a tree
Then sunset came around
Their song of you and i and we
Was hushed in tones of gold surround
Worn beaks that carried twigs and straw
Were want to silence in feathered breast
Oh sunset to us two, oh the awe
As if just to watch with no thought of rest
Tomorrow we continue in patterning sticks
Tis hard works carrying to and fro
So that we can welcome cute little chicks
We deceided we'd give it a go
The twigs crisscrossed like basket weave
We chirp well done until the little ones leave

I know I said no bird nest poems for this prompt, but Björn has written about grebes, and I did give an example of a bird nest poem. Besides, I enjoyed your nest builders very much, Gillena, written from the point of view of the birds, especially the ‘song of you and i and we’ and the lines:

I also missed not writing about birds, and I do love the image you build with your sweet little birds.
