Abandoned Nest in Winter

[Deor Ana Log]

Hello to all, and fire away!
Thank you for reading my first poem here!

I saw her nest by frozen bay where was her nest?
Upon an oak which lay below
One canopy of winter gray
And countless coins of opal snow. rhyming here seems way to formulaic

Add another stanza here to build out the world

The coiled twigs were tightly twined
And crowned the branch in ginger rings
Add 2-3 lines here
One powdered nest against the sky-

A remnant of departed spring. move this line to the next stanza
Though winter sun had sent away
The bird that sewed her April nest nice clarification, still need specificity
December, in its dead array-
Amplified what life was left. 
Upon an oak which lay below
I saw her nest by frozen bay Repeat the first lines in reverse to make the poem flow better
