Can It Be Spring?

Birdsong throngs the air;

Chipmunk has arisen—plump

From his warm storehouse—

All willing to forget such

a cold and nasty winter.

Even a

grackle cackle can

fill me up

with pure joy—

this spring sign—finally in

my safe-bubble world.

I Wish I Were An Ostrich

Finding it so hard

To focus these days, my head‘s

All over the place.

Feeding the Birds

Wind snow wind snow wind

Snow wind rain ice snow wind rain

Ice! ice! Ice! repeat.

It’s so cold

I’ve had to change gloves

To fill up

The birdbath

I was going to go shop,

But the fire’s on now.
