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.

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.

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.

Preparations

Brought in the ficus
tree. Fallen leaves fly about.
Wind whispers, “snowfall.”

Passage to India

I’m not here. I’m lost
in Varanasi. A world
Luke Storm opened wide.
