Seining pond for fish
Tugging the net from both ends
Bountiful harvest.

Chickens, night harvest
Caged for famous Chez Panisse
Transformed for night meal.
|
Emus layed green eggs
Carefully incubated
Striped chicks soon emerge.
| |
Bats fly over pond
Drinking before the bug hunt
My insect control.
|
Butterflies travel
Flying their way over roads
A fateful slaughter.
| |
Tiny dirt craters
Spread all along the driveway
Antlions hunting.
|
Baby emu hatched
Harbored in our living room
Avian house guest.
| |
African tortoise
Can hear and comes to take food
Unexpected move.
|
Hummingbird takes drink
Whirring wings announce it's there
Tiny bird brings joy.
| |
Feeding fish each day
Casting pellets along shore
Floating food shows pod.
|
Milking Jersey cow
Pulling teats on udder yields
Warm creamy liquid.
| |
Captive Honey bees
Housed in fully planned shelters
Mindless controlled life.
|
European bees
If left too near a Buckeye
Take fatal pollen.
| |
Raising noble swans
Must be wary of quick wings
Their blow yields bad wounds.
|
Firepole in the barn
Fulfilled a dream of the boys
Quick exit--bedroom.
| |
Hay harvest stops fire.
No need--purchase other hay
All I need is here.
|
Potbellied pigs, loved
Economy size for meat
Vietnam culture.
| |
Pulling in the net
Bony fish fin cut through boot
The fish's revenge?
|
Piano lessons
At six. Stern teacher. I left.
All well with cello.
| |
Bad fish allergy
Rolled on floor before they knew
At fifty ate fish!
