Your Little Nest

Your Little Nest

A Poem by Joanna
"

A poem from my black little notebook.

"
I had to put you out of my sight
so I shrunk you half feet tall
Then I stuffed you into a little box
and stopped thinking about you at all

Today I locked and hid that box
and made it your little nest
I'm still not sure why I did that
but I can take a good guess

When I keep you locked in the box
I choose to die a little less
Pretty please don't run away from it
It will ony create a mess

I won't give away your space in me
but I'm saying you're just a guest
The lonely yet familiar echo
now hardly beating on my chest

It wasn't all only on you
so I'll finally give it a rest
Next time I promise I will have
a complete bulletproof vest

This tickle my bones, a bit of humor in concept. Nice notion with simile in structure.

I actually found this poem a bit humorous, which could be a little weird, but it's fine. I actually really enjoyed it! Simple, yet beautiful, and such good symbolism and imagery. I really though it was a great poem.

Fantastic job! Keep up the good work!
