Thanks for the visit and comment Stacy.
We had three 90 + degree days last weekend where I'm at and now we're back to the 60's. Still confusing seasons but closer to the nicer spring/summer weather.
-
-
Sounds like Illinois. Shorts and barefoot, now I'm in sweatshirts
-
-
I'm in New Jersey You must have sent it our way. lol Sleeping was miserable...I couldn't bring myself to put the AC on so early.
-
-
LOL.. I love how we say too eary/too late for AC and heat. Tonight I have the heat on.. go figure.
-
-
I know. lol We all seem to have these imaginary lines drawn for different things. I'm trying to get along without putting the heat back on. I'm in that "go without either" part of the year now. lol

I read them all already, lol.
They were really good. -
-
Thanks. Do you do haiku? lol
I haven't been able to consistently get the "pop" in the last line. Something to work on for me. I still like to try different forms once and a while.
-
-
I do. I actually used the same background for my list as you did. I'm in a class for traditional haiku right now. It's surprisingly brutal! I'll send you a link to my list. My "haijin" says I need work on my "Aha!" moments as well, lol.
-
-
-
I think this was the only one I wrote where I got it right. lol
The rest are bad. Trust me.
-
-
Aha, golden one!
The wings fluttered,
and an haiku was born! -
-
Thanks Aes ...and pixie was floored.
-

I read over a few of the entries---
yours portrayed the unusual.
-
-
-
very very good
thank you for this entry -
...guess that's why they say: "one swallow doesn't make a springtime!

Thanks for your comment DogFish.

Yeah we had a few days like that here too, earlier this year. I've seen February days like that too.
Hey wait, proof I don't hate birds...I like flamingos!
True, it's the plastic ones I like...ok, I'll look up some better proof.
-
-
Plastic birds don't count.
It was snowing this morning.

My first impression is sadness for the birds. But rapidly changing weather is hard on humans, too. This poem is very timely right now, with the melting of big snows leading to flooding. If it's not one thing, it's another. (Grumble, grumble, grumble).
-
-
Its nice to be able to open winter windows longer than 10-15 minutes at a clip. It just doesn't seem right though. Yes, it's always something.
Large flocks of canadian geese spotted flying North yesterday. So I guess the reverse is also applicable...snowbirds depart early.
-
-
Your coastal climate
makes for confused birds as well!
You capture it well, Pix.

It was 70 degrees here yesterday. I should have went to the beach.
If I see a flamingo then I know I'm in trouble. -
-
-
-
Oh no! They followed me...lol
-

Jake: I did it! I did it! Aesthete showed me how to hit the mouse--
paste--five times---so they'd dance in a row, just like you did, Pixie! -
-
Ooooops, forgot this is in a contest!
Well the secret will be out. We are stranger
than we generally let on here!!!
Perhaps even Yemish!!! -
-
I opened the door for the flamingos.
Imagination takes us in all directions. -
-
Thank God for imagination,
for it can enhance and improve
reality's dilemmas!!! -
-
Yes. Allowing the mind a place to relax
and divert from life's challenges if for just
a little while.
