A Loggerhead Shrike built a nest this spring in our Wisteria vine. Here is one of the fledglings.
You talkin’ to me?

House Finch
April, National Poetry Month and National Poetry Writing Month, is over. Poetry happens every day, so why not here, sometimes?
Reddish head and breast
Announce feeding time, order
The usual, please
House Finch at the feeder
Little Pink House
Little pink house sitting on the corner
Paint fading over the years
Your garden’s thistles feed generations
Of bees, butterflies and finches
Lace windows smooth life’s sharp edges
Diffuse the brutal midday sunlight
Your threshold offers shelter
Wrapped in memories of children’s laughter
Little Pink House, beckoning
Butterfly feeding on a thistle
Lesser Goldfinch feeding on a thistle
Honey bee feeding on a thistle

Moon Shadows
Stars uncloak from the heavy mist
Grass and leaves with dew are kissed
Swallows chirp awaiting dawn’s light
I wake early thinking I might
Walk in the moon shadows
Only to find Nature knows
To end and start each day
It is I who search to find my way
Heavy morning mist
