Interesting looking nest, Sara. I haven't seen one quite like the one in the photo. I hope the birds are ready, I worry about the birds sometime. I feed and water them but can't tuck them in. :-) Nice Tanka poetry, my friend. Enjoy this little warm spell before winter hits us. Bill

Bill, they were here for the last to mating and nesting seasons but one came back to the nest the other day and then came back again but then I did not see him/her again so he/she must have gone farther south for the winter. Thanks for the visits. Sara K

An excellent tanka.. who is Phoebe? winter is never easy unless you live in a place like Australia or the Caribbean...

SO, Well, where I live it is not a really bad winter unless we get snow(rare) or sleet(rare) or some really cold weather(rare but it does happen). It is probably going to be a wet one or at least a lot of clouds this year. Phoebe is the name of a bird species that comes around here. They made a mud dobbed nest and sometimes it contains some moss. Your visit added a different dimension to my page. Sara K

Is phoebe a good prognosticator like Punxsutawney Phil? A sweet write Sara. :)

Oh, I don't know, but I was wondering about it showing up here and checking out its nest of last spring. I was wondering if it was coming in to use the nest when it gets colder this winter. Thanks for dropping by . Sara K

How beautiful is this tanka, your words flow so smoothly. And the way you’ve described autumn and also left a prediction in such a poetic manner is impressive, I can imagine how cold it could get, i hope you’ll stay warm. Sending you light always

I think this is an El Nino year which could mean for us a wetter and colder winter, but we won't know until it happens. Thanks for dropping by with your insightful review of my work. Sara K

I sure hope it don't get to cold. You've painted a cold autumn, lovely, Sara. Enjoyed reading my friend. Many blessings your way my friend.

Eve, they say it is about normal here now, but we did have a freeze already in the month of October. I am glad that it warmed up a little from that early cold, but I know it will come again. Thanks for the visit and nice review of my work. Sara K

a delicate and well-written Tanka, Ms. Sara. It stirred my feelings about the birds who frequent our yard...I worry about them in the cold, hiding under our bushes shivering until spring. Nicely done. Have a splendid day, Sara

It is strange to me how they seem happy though, Sara B. I try to put out some food, but the last two years just not as able as I was before I had COVID. Thanks for you nice review of my work. Sara K

Yes, Anne-Lise, sometimes I wonder how they make it when it is so cold and sometimes rainy and cold plus at times freezing. Thanks for the visit and kind review of my work. Sara K
