Cardinal

15
COM

Yesterday, thanks to my daughter, I glimpsed a cardinal at my bird feeder for the first time. Its cocked head and seed between a half opened beak reminded me of how nature can share a little 'tude?  Isn't he just gorgeous? I've also been visited by a few other birds: a robin, a red winged blackbird, blackbirds, goldfinches and finches. Hope everyone is having a great day~

Carrion Conundrum

COM
The old, abandon house
A weather-aged timepiece
Settled upon my eye's periphery.

Leaves dressed in ceremony
Sounded the night with attitude
Beneath a hallowed moon.

Curiosity stepped me closer,
Closer still,
To the front porch
Where I saw a large, engraved stone.

Wearing cold night air
On chill bumped arms
I wrapped myself in Halloween fear.

My trembled hand
Approached the red-eyed
Jack-o-lantern until
It rested upon the upraised lid.

Three crows surged
With flight and stalling stare
Into afterlife's oblivion.
