Thirty-one,
“Feels more like forty”.
Forecast says:
Around 5:00,
stormy weather will arrive–
kill summer at last.

Starlings have
come to strip my tree;
it sounds like
a jungle
in my back garden; waxwings
have missed out this year.

Patience

Waxwing Weekend was
wonderful, but for the fact
it lacked for waxwings.
Not one called in–holding out
until all cherries go black.

In Suspense

Ready and waiting;
Camera battery charged,
For Waxwing Weekend.
Pendulous berries alter
The shape of my Shubert tree.

Swinging fruit,
blackening on choke-
cherry stems;
waxwing blitz
(Cannot forget the bzzt, bzzt!)
in the wind, I think.
