Recycled

Sociable weaver
birds gather Kalahari
sticks, grass, cotton, to
construct home trees for hundreds.
Out-dated rest points built to
carry distance wires become
capsules recycled for
mobile families.

Wow - thank you, RJ Newlyn!  I only posted this last night (Oz time) and hoped to get a few reads... I feel very honoured to receive the golden cherries.  Been off the site for a white, distracted by life but intend to update myself with all my favourites and new writers.  So thanks, again.

Hi Frances. Great to read an interesting form like this. You've managed to conjure a vivid and tranquil scene. I can't help thinking of other families on the move when reading it. Hope to see many more from you.
