Books and Poetry
Running in circles
Accomplishing nothing
Overwhelming anxiety
Unrealistic thought processes
Your complacency has cost you
We’ll have tea
Talk it over
Develop a feasible plan
Decision making in the midst of chaos
Are you there?
The teapot pours
But the pourer is absent
Autumn approaches
Southern warm breezes whisper
Cranes answer the call
Naturalist Weekly micro-season of “The Wagtail Calls”
“This week’s haiku invitation is to write a haiku or senryu that references a shorebird or water bird in autumn.”
I. J.’s Birds of the Week Invitation XXIX
Letting go is challenging
Adult children
Children with children
Invariably on my mind
Confronted with life’s struggles
Guidance provided - followed or ignored
Meaningful lessons are learned through experience
This I must remind myself
As they endeavor to find their way
Perfect purple puff
Pollinators paradise
Prolific produce
Beautiful bearer
Bird beaks bombard blooms’ best brood
Benevolent bliss
Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD)
A lovely lazy Sunday morning with nothing to do but watch the day unfold. I indulge in a second cup of coffee, extracting the newspaper’s comic section. Knock, knock! Sigh… I open the front door with much trepidation and am handed an envelope by a twitchy courier. Stamped on the back is the distinctive hallmark I know so well. Do I dare open it?

Overlooked is the little gray bird
Whose bright colored friends are often preferred
But this little bird won’t be deterred
As it barely conceals its tufted head.
For I. J.’s Birds of the Week Invitation XXVIII
Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge (CMMC) – Close Up or Macro.
Bound to an office chair
Eager to depart
After work I’m going where
Chilling out is an art
Heading for the beach!
Brain is not on duty
Afternoon is dragging on
Leave early? Absolutely!
Later gators - I am gone
See you in a week! (If I still have a job)
