saturday haiku

pilchbo photography, poetry 2026/10/10 1 Minute

A couple of stray poetic thoughts…

[insert photo of chickadee here] Which I would do if I had tagged my photos better. Working on it. Come back next year.

There are no chickadees in this photo. Somewhere on the Olympic Peninsula, WA. April 1998.

Chickadee mind grabs 
seed, drops it: 'Get another!'
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Born as unblemished 
marble; Life's chisel reveals
us to everyone.

Oh, I really like these! Both fantastic and layered images. I think writing 100 poems has certainly changed the way you see things.

  Agreed. Mostly I think I’m more associative. Ideas collide to much better effect.
