I’d fondly remember the quiet calming warmth 
beneath the trunks of big cypress trees morning

Struck again by her simplicity, her very essence. 
A mathematician, now on a spiritual path, 
Her life, a testament to a transformative start.

Streaks of li...

a Streak of Red

...Silvan black
Come the grackles
Shimmering blue streaks
Darting toward the sound
Of bird song glee

Bullies
In Zorro garb
Storm the bird feeder
Black darts
Flung at swaying targets
Challeng...

A Plague of Grackles

...'News' may simply be
an acronym,
North, East, West, South,
Space-time continuum

Headlines capture minds—
Imagine the water cooler buzz
if the front-page news was:

Codes

...Start with words
pick up their sticks
make a now-man.

                          No eyes yet,
                          maybe the garden grackles
                          will peck out some.

Caught Cold

...Grackles snap at the thin snow
seeking frozen worms.
Balloons of light pop in a chill sky.
A marmalade cat sneaks the hedgerow
fur low in the snow whiskers sparkling.
Hawk cries grab our attenti...

Seasonal Dance

...The summer has thickened,
it has turned the hare into a dervish,
the raccoon to a pantomime villain,
made mice sing in the beaks of owls.

The woods are bare now
trees rattle, grackles cackle,
...

Grackles

...Grackles

I rambled along a city street
Going nowhere with no one to meet.
When I espied grackles in a tree,
Stretching and heckling between the leaves.
Purplish headed, black feathered ...

The Nuances of Daily Life

...I miss the nuances of daily life
while weeks are frozen in this quarantine.
I miss the lost normalcy of my days
in all aspects, obvious and unseen.
I miss turning my head to read the spines
of t...

An Eerie Warning

...Birds seen flying together in large flocks tonight
Words of warning sounds emit as coos and cackles
Herds of cows start running toward the barn door light
Blurred together as a murder of black cro...

City Starlings

...Waiting for the light to change
(A busy urban street),
I noticed quite a gathering
Not far from my two feet.

Upon a sewer grate I saw
Some starlings pecking ‘round
Although I didn’t even

Grackles

...Wings monger air.
A host of defrocked preachers
buckle and swag.
Mobs clique and crowd in clusters.
Grackles, 
skip, jump, and plunder on.

The birds pilfer, promenade,
scrum, pluck,
lift of...
