up early

but not before

the birds

CINQUAIN SEQUENCE

"On the Front Porch"

 

Hearing

a flutter,  like

a flag flipping, I look

up to see a crested bird fly

hither

 

and yon--

on the swing chains,

the wind chimes and the bricks.

"What are you looking for?" I asked.

it flew.

TANKA

 

the nerve!

a mockingbird

mocking me

calling

"kitty-kitty-kitty"

TANKA SEQUENCE

brown thrasher
thrashes
and thrashes
in the birdbath
fluffs, then flies

followed
by a redbird
who sits a spell
(testing the temp?)
before bathing
