chickadee ...

"... Our snow-storms as a rule
Aren't looked on as man-killers, and although
I'd rather be the beast that sleeps the sleep
Under it all, his door sealed up and lost,
Than the man fighting it to keep above it,
Yet think of the small birds at roost and not
In nests. Shall I be counted less than they are?
Their bulk in water would be frozen rock
In no time out to-night. And yet to-morrow
They will come budding boughs from tree to tree
Flirting their wings and saying Chickadee,
As if not knowing what you meant by the word storm. ..."

i'm a rooster, you can see,
crowing to my heart's content,

happy that i'm no turkey,
so tomorrow here i'll be ...

whilst crouched in the grass, amongst the flowers,
admiring the garden, on a fine day,
a wee whir of wings, like fairy showers,
tickled the air, in a hummingbird way ...

punch drunk bee ...
Originally uploaded by jude

now tio called a t.k.o. so fast,
while my bees were just warming to the task,
this little drunken bee would like to say,
"tio, my bro, let's meet another day!"

ps: this bee was a wee bit on the slow side from sipping a bit too much nectar but ... i did see him get up and go home so ... no bees were hurt in the telling of this tale ... and here i was just starting to shoot bees 'tio style' ...

Originally uploaded by jude

whilst nectaring this pretty orange friend,
these bees did hear a rumor from the skies,
whilst one flew off to join the smackdown trend,
the others sat and hung out with the guys ...

fine monarch you are magic, i believe,
your motion is susurrant as you fly,
to each and every flower do you cleave,
extruding your proboscis with a sigh ...

a route of evanescence ...
Originally uploaded by jude

"a route of evanescence
with a revolving wheel --
a resonance of emerald --
a rush of cochineal --
and every blossom on the bush
adjusts its tumbled head --
the mail from tunis, probably,
an easy morning's ride --"
