Haiku Moment: croaking greenery

croaking greenery

hides hungry peeper intent

on locating friends

Haiku Moment: land, hop, walk

land, pause, freeze, and look

what’s a bird to do? can’t move

winter’s sticky tape

hop, hop, hop-three jumps

and you are there, discover

snowy hidden treats

different bird tracks;

walk, waltz, snoop: toes in, toes out

winter hides the food


land, hop, walk

Monet wanted me to send out her greetings and wishes for a wonderful and joyful new year!

From her humans (aka slaves), we also hope you have a beautiful 2023!

Haiku Moment: breathe

dark broken by light

snow day, but no sleeping in

time to wander, breathe
