MARCHING RIGHT ALONG: cinquain sequences

 

A LOCAL GROUP

Some bring

the same "eats" each

time: chips & dip, homemade

pimento-cheese sandwiches, cake

--all loved.

As in

my Thanksgiving

"pot" that's always diff'rent

each month, I take something "off beat":

orange

slices, 

peanuts (parched), or

pecan halves, Hershey bars,

summer sausage. This month, green, white

 candies

left from

St. Patrick's Day

decorations, plus bars

of leftover frozen brownies.

Yay, Spring!

SONGBIRDS

After

the day-long rain,

the greening of the trees,

the chirping of the songbirds are

welcome.

"Tell it!"

the mockingbird

orates from the topmost

branch of the small redbud. "Sing it,

baby!"

But where

have the doves gone?

Why have they moved out of

earshot? First, the whipporwills, now

the doves.
