As part of the 2013 WordCount Blogathon, all participants are to write a haiku, a traditional Japanese poem consisting of exactly 17 syllables and referencing nature, for Day 24. Here is my Sonoran desert-oriented attempt.
Cactus wren feasts on
Organpipe fruit; for now his
Raspy voice is stilled.

I've got a pair of Northern Cardinals who have established a nest in an Althea tree beside the kitchen window. I've yet to take pictures. There are three eggs. The family will be a summer treat for everyone inside the house to watch.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see them too! Treat indeed!

I love it! Thanks for writing it!
DeleteLove the haiku! And what a lovely picture to go with it! Where is that from? Or better, who?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The picture is one I took a couple of years ago. Then sometime last year I was fooling around with some program that lets you "cartoonize" photos, so I tried that and loved the result, but didn't really have a place to use it.
DeleteBless you for posting
