Mourning Dove

Dull beauty
of a single dove
sitting upon
the garden fence

scrawny twig
   hanging from
her silent beak

which she brings
back -
to construct
    piece - by - piece
her home

I wrote this in school the other day. I didn't think it was good enough to post, but I guess it's alright =D

    i like this. it's stark and it works. i feel tedium and the feeling of doing what needs to be done
    thanks for entering and good luck

    PS You might consider adding more contrast to the font/background so old guys like me can read it easier
