A Visit From

Patch of red feathers

brings a big grin to my face—

Downy woodpecker

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to one and all!

Flipping the Bird

I’m on Mastodon,

from bluebird site I’ll soon be …

gone—come fly with me!

Parasites

Chipping sparrows have

Already picked up sidekicks

For winter, ticks on.

Poppies

In open field, the poppies tall,

Wake from sleep so deep, to fly;

Their paper petals, flushed, enthrall,

Flat out, they flout their blooms, unshy.

The winds will blow, red men will fall,

Blood-tears shed—- bled into sky;

Tossed to heaven, once-silenced spirits all,

With no word ever heard, they cry.

Frozen

Numbness on one side

Started with severe back pain

Waiting for answers.
