Frailty

In June I sought the desert phlox
That I might smell its homesome musk
It quivered like the desert fox
Foraging in the lonesome dusk.

Urbanity

You cannot hold Winter
Children weep for acorns
and their plummets of blackcurrants
They have lost their Midas Touch
Urban foraging is bygone pride


Premium Member Dementia

Face fractured with fear.
Fumbling, foraging , through frames,
Strangers in photos,
Calling from a distant shore
"Come, join us, be loved once more"

Nesting Box

Bluebird nesting box,
built with love. Toils to survive
cold spring nights, unforgiving.

Toiling, foraging
Worms, insects make a nice meal
Insatiable mouths

Premium Member Dora

There once was a wombat named Dora
Found foraging in grassy flora.
Her scat, it came out square;
The bush rat said, "Not fair—
Can't you hide that very odd aura!”

That Day

Winking sun through downpour trails
Earth foraging lives
Blackened standards show respect
In our sullen retreat
memories start to fade
The forgotten scar the forgetful

Prey/ Preys

Below:
Vertiginous
fish, foraging for flies
that hover above the water
level.

Above:
An eager eye
calculating, swooping
down with deadly talons splayed for
killing.

My Thoughts Were Of

My thoughts were of migrating birds
That nests these local shores
Foraging the marsh's best yet only till
The summer's dawn.

‘Twas love you nested on this heart
Until you had to leave.

I
global shutdown
local foraging pleasures
picking herbs - bounty

II
promise of city -
work loses meaning -
plants, family

III
global shutdown
strange equality
hinterlands rise

Human Beings

How quickly life passes by
We wonder who we are
How we fit in 
We are small, mobile creatures on two legs 
Foraging, we use an odd mixture of concocted 
shorthand
to communicate
And often to miscommunicate

Better

Orange reef,

a riddler on relief;

an ancient beat-

a walking priest,

a breed!

An ancient thief-

floating on now,

foraging in the great wild,

...it was like a drum,

oh it was so fun,

yadda da da da.

Edinburgh

Folklore drifts
past cobblestone
like ash.
Along High street,
I traipse through secrets,
foraging
ghosts in
Castle Rock’s
slate gaze.
I stir up
ancestors
to warm my spirit
as an Auld Reekie dawn
bares 
its dented armor.

Premium Member Ibis

wetland water whirls
an ibis searches for crabs ~
foraging ballet

white feathers emerge
standing tall on bright pink stilts ~
bill crab prize displayed

grunts and cooing sounds
echo the wet marsh at dusk ~
ibis courting chant

Premium Member Colors In the Sky

Festive fireworks foraging forcefully,
firework flames... flashing, floating, fading.
Families figure favorite fashions.
Friends find fizzling firecrackers.
Fireworks feature fantastic forms.
Frozen faces fathom fascinating festivities!

Premium Member Branscombe

Branscombe blossom
fair and light
coats the grass with pink and white,
mossy branch and apple breeze
stirs the limbs of dancing trees
orange tips and foraging bees,
no sweeter does the blackbird sing
than in an orchard filled with spring

Premium Member Squirrels

Squirrels in trees
foraging for nuts.
Raiding bird feeders,
filling their huts.

Fat gray ones seen,
moving in struts.
Loudly chattering,
with twitching butts!

Foraging Tomorrow

Eating everything
on the menu
Dylan asked for more

His hunger
reestablished
leftovers on the floor

A bite into
the future
yesterday a whore

A meal once paid
forever staid
— new rawness to procure
