June 2022

Finally, rain begins…

Rain and a parched earth
whisper sweet nothings all night
Like long-lost lovers.

******************************************

Oh, the blackbird can sing…

Elusive, liquid
rhapsody of a blackbird
coaxes buds to bloom.

******************************************

The poor old blackbird is apt to panic…

A startled blackbird’s
sudden volubility
blows his own cover.

******************************************

Lovelorn pheasant patrols his chosen area diligently…

Pheasant plays the field,
Marches the perimeter.
Sounds off each quarter.
