Hitting the Mark -Hc

falcon circling high
                            one two three   ready aim fire
                                    falling from the sky



                 three two one   pigeons scattering commotion
                the marked one struck in a feathered explosion

Gershon Wolf Date: 2/27/2019 4:50:00 PM The length that municipalities will go to these days to repair the roads. There ought to be a law... G'day! :) gw Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/4/2019 10:38:00 PM Ah, I can see why my comment was so mysterious... It's because I, the man of mystery... OK, Here's why: In Chicago there used to be two seasons, winter and construction; now there's only construction. 365 days/yr., city crews go around repairing roads...

Timothy Mcguire Date: 2/25/2019 7:59:00 PM Nice! I can identify with this one. Hawks are always looking for my chickens. Login to Reply Timothy Mcguire Date: 2/26/2019 5:42:00 PM Hawks have to eat too. It is violent but a quick death for the chicken, explosive. The trouble is the hawk keeps coming back for a free chicken dinner. Also, it take a few months for a chick to start laying just to lose to a hawk.
