The Poet's WorkLook for what you notice but no one else sees. —Rick Rubin
Spider's thread
catches a twig
ant shoulders a load
twice its size whir
of hummingbird's wings
Plain astonishment
missed
entangled mind or earbuds
stealing the common chorus
Many years ago I had a screened in patio because the mosquitos can be very bad here One day a hummingbird had flown right into it, his long beak stuck in the mesh. Couldn't back out, frantically trying to fly forward. A bop on the beak with a book set it free.
