In this stillness

I've watched colleged winter thaw of ice
along our side of the farms.
Grackles and other eastern birds flit to
one side and then the edge.
Their tiny lungs filled of
spring song. These...
these uncaged songs mapped
by memory's territories
live somewhere beneath blue skies and a
habit that holds my blue- gray
eyes... still. It's in this stillness I'm headed
towards an open field and a lone oak.

Napowrimo day 5: The challenge was to write a Golden Shovel. The last word in every sentence is another person's poem word for word. Instead of using someone else's poem I used one of my own haiku called gray headed oak.

My first haiku for April's National Poetry Month. Inspired by my iphoneart of the same name: In the whisper of me

The Heart of the Woods

COM
A whittled sky
Becomes an open spigot
Where winter grows
On a sapling whose branches
Hold a broached robin.
She's watching soft-silent waves churn
Along a field's edge
As cold winds approach
She thrusts into the numbing air
Like an uncoiling arrow-
The heart of the woods.

a morning haze

a morning haze dyes
the surrounding lawn, white-
i'll grow in its silence
as the fog dehydrates
from a rising sun.
i'll see well tanned teasel shelving
its sleepy head along a barbed wire fence.
i'll hear chunter
between a robin and her three young
who are nestled
safely in a gutter's nest...
verdant grass will give way
to a blue horizon.

You know you've been gone for a long time when Blogger has a new look and feel upon your return. I think I might like it after I learn my way around again.

Today I had a strong urge to post something here and would like to say thank you to everyone for your patience in my long absence... I've truly missed blogging and seeing what everyone has been up to lately... Hopefully I won't let everyone down during this new jumpstart. Luckily I have lots of pictures to share and a few new poems too...

I'll start with a haiku I wrote about some great blue herons. A friend of mine came upon eight great blue herons one day while out taking pictures and was gracious enough to share with me and another good friend the location. When we arrived at said location we saw six heron and eight nests... My haiku reflects this scene...
