(Female European Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other species of birds. A cuckoo egg usually closely mimics the eggs of the host) <br /> <br /> <br />In my nest <br />I kept the eggs <br />of hopes and dreams, <br />close to my chest <br />and tended them all <br />blessed blind in patience <br />and long eggspectations! <br />Before their hatch <br />how could I know, <br />alas, I’ve sat upon <br />a few cuckoos’ eggs, <br />fulfilled the dreams <br />not mine, the hopes <br />of someone else. <br /> <br />Sofia, the 15.07.2008<br /><br />ONElia AVElar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-eggspectations/
