It’s raining
grackles are grappling
outside my
window, but
I’m disinclined to crack on
and cater to birds.

Another
typical day of

waterlog—
more showers and bog here in
bloody Canada.

Inhale
Plentiful rainfall
Clears the air of choking smoke
All things breathe again

Stark white egret stands
Erect in the murky pond—
Smoke lurks in the air

Chipping sparrows have
Already picked up sidekicks
For winter, ticks on.

Big Bird
Canadian Goose
thinks he’s a weather vane, perched
on my neighbour’s roof.

Out, like a lion
Technically, it’s
spring, so why is the forecast

Can It Be Spring?
Birdsong throngs the air;
Chipmunk has arisen—plump
From his warm storehouse—
All willing to forget such
a cold and nasty winter.

Cha toil leam a geamhradh.
Tapadh leibh a Mháthair Nadar
Chan eil thu snog!

Nature
I don’t like winter.
Thank you, Mother Nature;
You are not nice!
