It's Poetry Friday, and Molly Hogan is hosting HERE on her website, Nix The Comfort Zone! She's sharing her own delightful poems after Wendell Berry's "Like Snow". You may want to try one, too! Be sure to visit to read them!
Thanks for hosting, Molly!
It's been a week, full of little to celebrate, but I am trying to help where I can with the political storm filling our days. Best to all of you wherever you live, but especially Laura Purdie-Salas in Minneapolis. I saw your post about the protesting, and Randy and his group playing music for Alex Pretti. It was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Thank you and them for me!
Warmed under the sun,
I watch crows hang out in my yard
Wheedling at each other
To see where to peck

They are having fun as they wheedle, aren't they? They are consummate hanger-outers. Sending a big hug to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tabatha, they offer many "acts" for a laugh! Hugs right back to you!
DeleteI was also moved and heartened by Laura and Randy's activism this past week. It gets harder and harder to stay focused and hopeful since there are so many atrocities happening every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the crows poem (I love crows!). We had some visiting our back yard recently and I'm always fascinated by them.
I am so happy to hear that you like crows, too, Jama, and imagine you must have a lot with more land! Yes, seeing Laura & Randy protest at Pretti's site was so uplifting. I think I worry for those, like Laura & Randy who are at the protests, as much as those whom Ice are out searching for. Thanks for your nice words!
