Rating: 2.7


I don't
(normally)
do this

you understand
but I am

staring at her
chest

in particular
where her ample breasts

meet in a more than ample
cleavage.

Did not this
awesome architecture

of female flesh this
confluence of mammaries

just go
...tweet?

Yes...there
it is

for all to see
in a daring low-cut top

a robin redbreast
in her cleavage

making all who see it
...smile.

A tiny broken
robin

with an injured wing
(poor thing)

nestling between
her breasts

(well it is
Christmas after all) .

She feeds it
every hour

with a tiny
dropper

as it nestles
snuggily.

'Peep...peep! '
it pipes up

every so
often.

Come Christmas
she gives it

the gift
of its

freedom

nothing but
blue skies

all day long
it returns

to its
human

as if it were
a living

Christmas card.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

How wonderful and thankyou so much! I have robins that come into my garden. They love to hop in and out of the Laurel bushes there...only a few mind. The starlings still nest in the eves of my tiny terraced house and there used to be one that only had one leg. It would drink the drips of water from my garden hose and I'd give it any bread or left overs. It wasn't at all scared of me, but sadly he/she doesn't come anymore. Probably in heaven's skies, I think. Ruthie: o) I hope your Christmas will be a happy one Donall with many, many more to come. xx
