Fresh water they splash
Hop up to nearest branch, preen.
The local bird bath.

Haiku April 1, 2013 Twilight
Twilight, forest wakes
Frogs rib-it, birds lullabye
Owls begin to prowl.
Art Prescription: Watching the sun go down and listening to the night-time creatures awaken is musical!
Haiku March 26, 2013 Hummingbirds
Backyard bird haven
Songbirds await arrival
Mini feathered friends.
Art Prescription: Season change brings new friends.
Haiku March 17, 2013 March Wind
Leaves frolic, March wind
Pansies bloom braving the cold
Birds are on the chase!
Art Prescription: As dried leaves tumble down the street, birds dart and dive for territory and mates.
Haiku February 17, 2013 Introvert
Alone, not lonely
Quiet time spent with my own
Imagination.
Art Prescription: There are those of us who love a party, lots of people, loud music, a hoping good time. And there are those of us who love quiet walks in the woods, lots of birds, sounds of nature, and creative solitude. No judgement here. Just be who you are and hope the world will honor that!
Haiku February 12, 2013 Woodcocks
Flight of the Woodcock
Soars, musical twitter, dives
Female impressed, coos.
Art Prescription: Spring…mating season. The male American Woodcock has one of the most musical aeronautical displays. They begin their dance at dusk which makes them hard to see, but if you stand still and listen you will hear the male as he soars upward in a wide spiral. As he descends his wings start to twitter, and he comes down in a zig-zag pattern, chirping as he dips. He lands near a female and starts the whole dance again…wow persistence!
Haiku January 29, 2013 Blue Birds
Love is in the air
He soars from tree, blue twinkles
Spring-fling, flirty bird!!
Art Prescription: After an ice storm 4 days ago, today it’s about 70 degrees here in North Carolina! Step outdoors and you would think spring has launched. The birds know it’s time to start the dance!!
Haiku January 26, 2013 Icicles
Deck rail lined with birds
Icicles stand attention
Glassy ornaments!
Haiku January 23, 2013 Your Own Space
A place of your own
Space to spread your wings and fly
Private universe!
Art Prescription: As much as we humans need relationships, social media, love, and companionship, we also need space and time to be quite with ourselves.
Haiku January 10, 2013 Honesty
Earth trusts sun to rise
Birds, confident, sing morning
Faith, hope, assurance.
Art Prescription: Things I want more of in 2013! Faith in others, honesty from others, trust in myself. Assurance, like the birds, to just sing!!
