Hawaiian bird

Hawaiian bird, eyes bigger than mouth,  watching fish.  Quietly, slowly, he slinks down the lava rock like a cat ready to pounce. SPLASH!  Fish is too big for mouth.  Day after day he repeats his attempted meal.  Failure after failure bird grows thinner and thinner.    Jump! SPLASH!   Fish eats bird.

Absurd Combinations

Absurd clashing combinations that wouldn’t normally combine, but I’m too curious what they’ll become when they are knitted  … married with each other in a completed pattern so I choose them anyway.  They combine, and some knit together in beauty while others would be better off remaining single. . . like axe murderers.

I was hiking a trail

I was hiking a trail through the misty green hills in winter at sunset.  I watched the sky turn from bright salmon into the indigo of twilight.   I stumbled, which startled me out of my reflections, to awaken where I started yet another ordinary day of school in third grade.
