Daily Haiku Prompt: garden

 Garden

cholesterol pill

becomes a health garden

for ants on the floor

Tanka for Father's Day

 my father's birthday

doesn't hurt as it once did

nor does Father's Day

pencil sketch hangs on the wall

memory of his voice fades

Supportive

 

"Why do I buy more

owls?" I ask and he replies,

"For more-owl support."

Mystery Bird Visit

Early this morning we noticed a GIGANTIC bird on the ledge of our 6th floor terrace. Assumed it was a Canada Goose. Its leg seemed to be injured because he/she was limping along. I was going to call Wildlife Control after we finished breakfast but it disappeared in the meantime.

Did he drop by for some of my blueberries or a cup of coffee?

If he was after my weed collection (I'm talking dandelions etc. in planters, not cannabis), there was a glass railing between him and them. If he had landed a bit further, he could have had a nibble.

If he could fly, why did he land?
