Thanksgiving bird = bird giving thanks

Fourteen wild turkeys
on my back deck raid the grape
vines looking for fruit.

Day after election day

I saw the losing
candidate cross
the empty parking lot.

Covetous

I’m soooooo jealous of
the brilliance of this blog name:
Blather. Wince. Repeat.

Green home

Chuck tests our house for
energy efficiency.
We’re tight as a drum.

Lecture

Tracy Kidder spoke.
Nice man, but a writer, not
a public speaker.

Artistic insight

Vision isn’t so
much a function of seeing
as it is feeling.

Creative class

with props to selfinterestandsympathy for this one 

I will often cite
Richard Florida’s ideas.
People stare blankly.

November

Thanksgiving creeps up
fast, like a turkey farmer
wielding a sharp axe.

New furnace

Hadn’t realized the
thermostat had to be set.
Freezing at 60.

Can’t sleep 9 – deep thoughts

Late night imparts great
wisdom to ideas which seem
silly in daylight.
