Northern Mockingbird-a Tanka

~

atop a bush he sits

his gaze speaks to me

we share a note

through my lens I see

a twinkle in his golden eye

I captured these photos on January 6, 2016 while visiting Myakka River State Park. I captured a Mockingbird at this very spot last year; I wonder if it is the same bird.

~Patterns~

 

Woven into the fabric of existence,

each displayed uniquely by design, 

are patterns of nature,

to be seen everywhere you look.

~

Scripted with beauty,

designed for survival,

equal partners in life’s equation,

both to be admired.
