Hidden.
She in a state of lyrical ecstasy,
intoxicated with covert excess,
keeps quiet her excited vision
of visiting wings while hidden
closely under placed branches
she waits for feathered attack
noting the not-yet-looked-at
ways hides may be bettered
for sharing more treasured
moments, knowing nature
feeds poets at bird tables.

indeed, we are fed by the wild for too cossetted we can become.
Lovely suspenseful tale here.
Glad you had a read and your in-put to the subject is so very welcome dear D.
Loved the poem about my friend about my other friends the birds and loved the sentiment - I just watch from windows so I consider this my hide!
Watching from windows is just as exciting dear friend. Nature has much to offer a poet.
Interesting, the covert poet! Observation is a poets greatest inspiration
I agree Dove that the poet must be prepared to quietly listen and watch. An inspiring comment.
indeed, dear Fay
Nature is truly, our creativity's
sustainable source, for sustenance...
