mother of exiles
.
she
has faced many trials
here
in the land of opportunity
once upon a time she stood as a beacon
until now
as a malevolent wave sweeps across
a broken nation under siege
shuttering the gates
liberty mourns for her children

A day away from the news and so much happened… just one day. It’s insane. But even if I do write my angst in poetry, I would be remiss if I brushed off the fabulous show from this morning. The turkeys are very restless. It’s spring after all! A couple of Toms it seems finally have an entourage of lovely Jennies. They are being coy and hard to get but they are keeping company with the gents now. It’s just a matter of time before nature takes it’s course and sets the stage for a brood of young chicks. Life goes on, doesn’t it? Life always finds a way.
And so as bleak as the news may be this day, I am reminded by my Turkey friends that life is a gift.
Peace, Love, and Glimmers to you!

Clever poems of late Kat.
Hope you get pics of turkey chicks! The ducks here are pairing up and the geese are returning. Hopefully the gulls and crows won’t pick off the babies.

I remember about half a dozen female mallards ganging up on a seagull trying to steal their babies. It was a violent encounter, and they nearly drowned it.

We were obviously rooting for the ducks as we can’t abide the gulls and crows taking the babies.

A couple of good legal rulings in the last couple of days. Keeping the faith.

That is true. Things that are away from politics and news give us hope.
