1971


mockingbirds flutter
from the gate to the neem tree
ever so playful

the swaying neem leaves -
a mockingbird has sat in
and is now long gone

Revisit
picking spanish thyme
in the afternoon coolness
the mocking bird's skip

tropical mockingbird
under overcast clouds
a new week ensues

Blog hopping today at

the murmured prayers resonate
