nd 2.01 XXV poem

nd 2.01 XXV poem

Septolet


Determined Souls


Defiant critter 

Continues to 

Destroy 

Bird feeder fortress


Stopping

Gnawing teeth

With metal wire


© JP/dh


That big ‘ol squirrel chewed through some plastic zip ties holding up some of ‘my defenses’ for the bird feeder.  I don’t think his teeth are gonna like the copper wire I added to the new zip ties. Chickadees and wrens are still getting through to get seeds. So, that’s good. I haven’t quite figured out the right ratio for the red pepper flakes - but I’m working on that too.  

The squirrels have their own feeders... But I guess the squirrels think that all the bird feeders are theirs too! 


Septolet 7 lines 14 words split into two sections.

nd 1.17 XXV poetry

nd 1.17 XXV poetry/ haibun


Jumping a Sinking Ship


Unsupportive sinking ship

Too many changes that make no sense

No life lines, no life preservers, 

Mostly no respect for 

Just leaving things working easily


Adding salt to my soup

With my own tears

But I’ve gotta find 

The best way for me

To go on with my show


hope to see

y’all on the flip side

of my moon

nd 1.16 XXV poetry

nd 1.16 XXV haibun


Unspoken Resolution

(Since the New Year; Better Body, Better Health)


Attempting to become stronger

Doing more steps daily

And taking more online classes

With our new health insurance program


Working with weights

Attempting to hold a ‘plank’ pose 

For half a minute on elbows and toes

Settling the mind with a guided yoga routines


Must have helped just a tad this week

Since I had my highest series of 434 

In bowling since our senior league began -

Going to bring up my 118 average 


While we only took one point out of 4

It was still a fun outing 

Even as the snow flurried 

And dulled the sky... 


slight weight gain

could be extra mass

of muscle

April MMXVII

I keep this blog open for ease of commenting on other Blogger sites.

I have edited this blog so that you must have a Blog(ger) site to see it.
So if you are 'my friends' you'll be able to roam.
But I've been taking posts off and referring readers to my WP site -
And 'My friends' know where that is and how to access it.

To many odd referrals, and visits from strange places, and countries and no comments.
So I'm limiting access.
Thank you for your understanding. ~Jules
