There was not really enough forme to get hold of a concrete image or thought line as it stands so yes i think you need to add to this one. One suggestion would be to deconstruct it into a Haiku or Senryu perhaps and then when you have nailed down the image you are looking for then to re-expand it back into a fuller poem. As to the rhymes i would suggest you don't get so hung up on this and just let them happen if they naturally appear in the line as you write.
The below is what (images) your poem gave me as it stands
Scattered twigs
and stained litter wrapings
lie beneath.
Angels repaired what remained.
so (for example) this could deconstruct down to (Not saying this is your image just where your poem took me)
Beneath the litter
and scattered twigs,
an Angel repairs
the broken nest.
Hope this is of some help AJ.
it's short on purpose, I really don't like doing the rhyming thing.
maybe a pointer or two would help it expand, add a stanza before this one?
It's not developed enough for full critique
