Description:




A nest



Amid this timber life of mine
and it is always dry there too;
my years like pickles soaked in brine.
I’m not, I’m right? My den, my coo.

A wealth of choices incomplete,
the day is done, no time to roam,
a life of bark and of deceit.
My core rooted in her frail loam.

  You have added another dimension in describing scrupples. Sort of like damn if I don't and damn if I do. The white scum that forms on a batch of pickles needs to be removed to keep them from rotting.

I LIKE IT !!!!

  I could not help but think about the danger in dryness versus the safety in pickling. LOL---that is probably because of all the fires lately in California being headline news while dryness definitely contributes to fire dangers.

Oh, yes, I'm off on a tangent and that's definitely not what you intended!!

You're a genius at use of metaphors and I could read poems like this one for hours just letting my mind roam through the words to its own fancy.

Well done, :-) Sharon

  Very Nice Write
To me you are speaking of a Beautiful Relationship
You easilly show the reader even a perfect relationship has its flaws as nothing on this Earth is completely perfect
I liked the inclussion of nature to show how deep this relationship is to you
Excellent Job
Looking forward to reading more new writes from you
God Bless
Ron

  I like this poem. The juxtaposition of the dryness and the pickles soaked in brine was interesting. I also liked how bark implies deceit - like a covering up of what lies underneath. A lot of poems can be sing-songy when they rhyme, but yours definitely strayed far from that. Again, I like it. Oh--and thank you for the welcome. :-)
