as robin broods

I’m quite impressed

to see

 

that robin redbreast

(and without apology)

 

has made her nest

in my backyard’s apple tree—

 

with some finesse

(or its facsimile)—

 

outside my bedroom

window …

 

as robin broods

such dainty eggs,

 

she hides her legs—

and has me biding time

 

in limbo

Thanx for Noticing

Yes to the watching of birds. Sorry to say Ms. Robin has now abandoned her nest. Also, just to point out my versatility, I observe baby woodchucks at boisterous sibling play ... and that just outside my bathroom window. Regards, Chuck

lovely poem, Chuck, though I do wonder how much more it could be if you used the occasional connecting word. (ie., my, mine, the, etc.)
