Last winter, when the trees were void of leaves, several blackbirds, perhaps crows, too, were perched on the naked tree tops, but for their shadowy silhouettes. This is the poem that I wrote that morning:

a trio of avian shadows
atop the arbor twigs
across the way
a quintet
holds tightly to their wings

yet now
as Sol has brightened
a mere duet
remains

what mathematical
equations
brought about
this "n"ly change?

Virginia S.
(the n above refers to the algebraic unknown quantity)
I've not titled this piece yet.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I felt nature calling and summer's gentle glide into fall.
Like a feather dancing in the wind.

Lovely serene images your poem brings to mind.

Yes, it's great to read you again.

Thanks, Blues, I just may get a title from your remarks.
I'll have to say, I've lost access to most of my poetry.It's on a thumb drive and in older files. None of which my updated, yet still antiquated, operating system can read. Some day when I've discretionary time, I'll have to search the archives to see what I can recapture.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
