May’s Flower full moon was on the 18th. May moon is usually the last full moon before summer solstice. This year’s May moon will be followed by a fourth spring moon in June. Oddly, it is this third full moon of spring which is called the blue moon (not the unusual fourth coming up in June).

200 Starlings

0D38E338-139E-43B1-8542-90D66F089CB4

200 starlings drop by
in a cloud
that swoops and dives
An aerial ballet
takes over every inch
of the front yard
It’s a convention and
they’re dining on
dried chicory husks
with other delicacies
hidden in the snow
They huddle on the roof,
congregate the road,
then disappear on mass
reappearing seconds later
behind the house
And I, featherless, chatter
exhilarated
by this encounter,
their parallel universe.

Lately, forest, field and roadsides around here have been lightly dusted with snow.

This weekend Chevrefeuille of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai challenged us to write a winter themed Fibo-ku—a relative of the haiku in which syllable count is based on the Fibonacci sequence.<<
