Haiku Moment: a pop-py
fuzzy fat pods hang
drooping from scrawny stems, then
a pop-py bursts forth

Haiku Moment: flycatchers
mournful calls echo
as watchful parents dash, dart
flycatchers nest here
flap, crack-winged warning
startles, drives out predator
hoping for a snack
poofed fledglings appear
flapping, dropping, flight attemps
offspring launch from home
flycatchers by Angie Quantrell
Every year for the past 7-8, we’ve had a pair of flycatchers nesting in the parking shed. It’s fascinating to watch them. And they eat flies (and all sorts of flying insects). Win-win for us.
Haiku Moment: hidden
mere feet from busy,
yet vibrant abundant life
what else hides unseen?

Haiku Moment: lounging alone
lounging alone on
glistening bed, to showcase
my excellent form

Haiku Moment: possibilities
summer’s seed complete
good food? carved face? fall decor?
possibilities

Haiku Moment: meander (+ Surprise Haiku Author News)
a stream meanders
like the path my feet follow
where do they travel?

Haiku Moment: rocky bed
peek-a-boo face stares
swims, plays coy in the wet sand
rocky bed for fish
