drift slowly across full moon –

sultry summer night

a brilliant sheen
on calm waters of the bay –

Meadow

a moth’s aflutter
zig zags, a cantankerous
mocking bird in tow
as they head to the meadow
gap closes, this will not end well

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt “Gratitude” June 1, 2020

Wander

Sidewalk Planter

I noticed on my walk yesterday that the neighborhood birds seems giddy. Take offs and landings have a different energy. They are moving around in larger cliques. A lot of camaraderie, a lot of chatter. Were they always this loud? They have all of outdoors to themselves! No humans disrupting their gatherings. No horns honking. They are reveling in this new found quiet. No droopy faces here.

Sunshine

Going for a walk these days has me feeling like I’m up to no good. Like I was sneaking out; all the time keeping everyone at a distance. This lovely setting sun was a welcome diversion 😊.
