Good News

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

Poem: "I Feel at Home with You"

This is the second freebie, thanks to new prompter greghousesgf.  It also fills the "I Feel at Home With You" square in my 1-1-23 card for the Public Domain Bingo fest.


"I Feel at Home with You"
-- an indriso


I feel at home with you, my heart and soul
Flung wide like spider silk across the sky
To span the gap between us, pole to pole.

We are two willows dancing, you and I,
Athwart a forest spread between us, whole
And green beneath the summer sun's keen eye.

The miles part us. Tears fall two by two.

Yet through it all, I feel at home with you.

Notes:

The indriso is a condensed version of a sonnet.

Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and chilly outside, still damp from recent rains.

I fed the birds.  I saw a downy woodpecker huddled on the tree with the suet cage.  Not much activity today.
