winter snapshots

snowflakes straggle-
                            bird crouched low
                            on the tree limb

 




cat poised to pounce,
last autumn leaf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

yeah, I don't call them... that. They are just what they are. Shorties.

Just images... in haiku(ish) form

    Poor bird only got half the frozen worm for breakfast, and that cat is going to have the bird for breakfast. Funny how the seemingly random images fit together. I enjoyed this.

      It's winter. It's actually snowing right now. I won't get off of work, though. I've been wishing for a blizzard... but I don't think I'm gonna get it.

    Haiku-ish..?! Lol. Whatever you call it still smacks of poetry.
    I like the image of the half a worm, don't know why, but it has that staying power. Or I'm just weird.

    Good-ish or better



    I think the first poem that I read of yours that wowed me was a Shortie. I like your Shorties.

    I think number 1 is the best. I think I love it. You've made a half-worm beautiful.

    I think insecurity is somewhat necessary for poetry, I mean at least for me I live with it. Hubris might be dangerous to poets.... something I am exploring. Well not really but I might, someday.

    Hope all is good in your neck of the woods.
