Birdfeeding

Today is partly sunny and cold.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a large flock of sparrows, a pair of cardinals, and two mourning doves. 

Poem: "Our Power to Change"

This poem came out of the November 2, 2021 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from chanter1944 and rix_scaedu. It also fills the "Consultant" square in my 11-1-21 card for the NCIS Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with fuzzyred, ng_moonmoth, janetmiles, and edorfaus. It belongs to the Trichromatic Attachments thread of the Polychrome Heroics series. It follows "The Things You Do," "Never Accept an Apology," "Spiraling Out of Control," "The Fourth for My Enemies," and "When in a Dark Place," so read those first or this won't make much sense.

Warning: This poem contains intense and controversial topics. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It includes problem drinking, the morning after, shame and embarrassment (despite a supportive environment at present), anxiety and suspicion due to past bad experiences, skittish supervillain is skittish, reference to frenemies, awkward conversations, trust issues, minor medical details, reference to superpower control issues while drunk, metabolic differences, attempts at an aftercare plan, asking for help and getting it, and other challenges. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

Poem: "Where the Grass Is Greener"

This is the freebie for the January crowdfunding Creative Jam. It was inspired by a prompt from fuzzyred. It also fills the "Path / Travel" square in my 12-23-21 card for the Story Sparks Fest.


"Where the Grass Is Greener"


On the high side of the hill,
the grass is short and yellow.

On the low side of the hill,
the grass is long and green.

The path winds around the hill
where the honey-wagon rolls by
on its way to the market, shedding
flecks of manure that blow down
the slope below the path.

The top of the hill is
flat and windy with
little growing there.

The base of the hill
goes down to the forest
where the long green grass
turns into berry canes and
bushes and tall trees.

Hike up the hill
and you will find
nothing but a view.

Wade down through
the deep green grass
and you will find
the blackberries
growing at the edge
of the forest below.

If you want to forage,
then always go looking
where the grass is greener.
