Haven
just a small parcel
garnish’d by man
our housekeepers
preserving our endangerment
though not the wild
the vanishing wild
consum’d by
cement
technology
and violence
this alternate paradise
must suffice as paradise
until Nature’s children
germinate
from Mankind’s progress
… or Mankind’s ashes

Ambush
of her be aware
hawk who espies everything
if you snooze you lose
(This happens– usually just outside my front door– about 4 times a year. It takes a few days for the local birds to resume their activities around the hanging feeder and the ground level water dish.)

Airing It Out

Mystery Lavender Lover
Hi, everyone.
Does anyone recognize this bird? (This was a quick shot through a screened window. Sorry about the quality.) Six of them showed up on our property about a week ago. In the mornings I see them emerge from our honeysuckle growth and head straight for our lavender bushes—where they dig right into the flower areas.
Anyway, we’re happy to have the new neighbors… and hope they’ll stay.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Darn those early birds
Guess I’ll have to wait my turn
Please leave me some seed
