I also want to say that it is lovely. I like being able to see the photos too. It is a fascinating location for a nest. I would like to imagine that the parent birds were fond of trains and wanted to show their babies.
Oh I love that about parent birds showing their babies the trains! My middle child was obsessed with trucks and trains and all moving vehicles. He would have been in heaven being able to watch trains come and go all day long.
Love your abecedarian excerpt! I can understand why you got stuck at L. I think mine came more easily because I have such long descriptive sentences that it's easier to find a word that works. Youra is so poetic though 💛
Thank you. I do think maybe the form works better for a more narrative kind of poem than a descriptive poem like mine. Though @Kortney Garrison made it work with a series of nature haiku. There she had multiple subjects. Where I was trying to describe the one thing.
Yes hers is inspiring! The more narrative poem gives room for lots of different word options for sure. So really you did very well with a more challenging subject whereas I stuck to easy 😉😉
Oh that was a fun episode! Sophie and I watched the whole thing and thought it was fun to get glimpses of the MFA from the 1980s. I'm not sure Sophie even remembers a time before her first visit to the MFA and I can't even count how many times I've gone in the last 25 years.
That’s lovely. I fell asleep and forgot to submit my abecedarian. I did write a gothic one though. It’s very rough.
Oh it’s not too late! Publish it, even if it’s rough!

We went to Day out with Thomas for three years in a row. I miss the train obsessed days. 😭 They are still enthusiastic about many things though.

Oh, this is so lovely.
Thank you!
This is so good!
Thank you!
So happy to read these lines and see this nest!
When we traveled to the East Coast the only thing I wanted to do was go to the MFA because of this old Reading Rainbow episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnwBirmqciU&ab_channel=IndoorRecess
We spent a happy morning there talking to the curators for nearly an hour about the Sargent murals!
