Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “Feeding”

Grackle and woodpecker at a suet feeder.
Grackle and woodpecker vie for suet.

Grackle challenges /

The world in a winged moment. /

Woodpecker defends.

Photo finish Friday (photo and poem): “The Big Bang”

photo of gun deaths in US versus other developed nations.

Thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Are like underwear —

They can keep some crap from spilling.

But when they fill

There is no thrill

When no one does any repairing.

With signs or words, sometimes, what you intend is not what is received.

Photo finish (and poem) Friday: “Rain”

Rain and rising water
Photo courtesy of Chris Buice

As I sit out in the rain /

Pondering life all the same /

A pond appeared across the way /

Growing larger and larger throughout the day /

Until the time when night fell /

And I could not tell land from water very well. /

But as the sun rose, I will vouchsafe, /

It’s no fun being in a watery grave.

Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “Exhausted”

The man on the bus /

Urges me to “Keep it up!” /

But he’s exhausted.
