pondering


sitting quietly
amid bare trees,
pondering
early morning
fast food

Funny how the end suggests sudden movement. I like the shift in this one. Much is accomplished in very few words.

good morning Shakespeare~ just after taking this picture i watched the hawk flutter his wings and knew he was getting ready to move. sure enough, he swooped down onto the ground as though he'd captured his morning breakfast. never saw him again after that. so i assume he finished his breakfast off elsewhere. glad you liked the poem. have a great day.

Lovely winter scene. You've been in my thoughts. Hope you are doing ok.

There is just something about hawks; you feel their presence rather than see them straight off. They are so imposing.

just happen to come by for a visit... it is as simple as that isn't it... poetically beautiful and photo captures as if a reflection in the water.. one to the other... as others have stated you and your family are in my prayers, here in spirit alongside you... and yes, more hugs..

Your little poem sums it up. We don't see many hawks around here for some reason.

wow...that's a big hawk out there! Your poem captures the scene well.

Wonderful poem. I remember Coopers Hawks from my neighborhood in Illinois. Fast food? Love it!

lol - it seems so barren but also so peaceful and it looks like you have feathered company.
