New poem techniques

From our workshops a couple of weekends ago, I'm trying a new technique using alliteration of three words followed by a fourth different word. Trying to create diversity in my poetic structure. This poem was inspired by a robin nesting by our bedroom window. My photo is below.


Spring Nest

red robin rests while nesting
notices noises nearby, she freezes
flies frantically far away
waits while warmth returns

time ticks tirelessly daily
intuitive instincts initiate patience
soon survival skills pay off
nature nurtures new growth
