The Weaver

The Weaver

Thread over
Thread under
Row after row
It comes and goes
this way and that way

Instinctively I collect materials
A masterpiece takes planning
and much thought
With my inherent skills 
I am a dream weaver

The fruits of my labor
begin to take shape
A hanging garden home
Complete and ready
for its open house

I am an architect 
I am an artist
I am a weaver
I am a weaverbird

Kim from Writing in North Norfolk blog is hosting D'Verse tonight and has
prompted us to write about animal abodes.  I have always been fascinated with
the Weaver Bird and his undeniable talent.  I hope you enjoy the poem and the video.

  2. I’ve heard of the weaver but have never seen one or its beautiful nest, Christine. I love the way you describe the way it weaves, similar to the way humans weave and knit – that is where humans got the idea from, I think. I especially like the way you wove the dream weaver into your poem.

    1. Thanks Kim. This little bird trying over and over to get it started and then eventually he’s made a home to attract his mate. It is so sweet ☺️💕
