bad “hair” day

my stylist complains
the lawn next door is greener
I told him to stop 
with the buzz cuts already
so we can dance with the wind

Na/GloPoWriMo 2026 Day 9 Prompt: Today, try writing your own poem in the voice of an animal or plant, or a poem that describes a specific animal or plant with references to historical events or scientific facts.

Pileated Woodpecker of Bramlett Mountain

This morning I happened upon the most wonderful glimmer. Just outside my window a magnificent pileated woodpecker was having a lovely time chipping away at an old downed tree. Of course I caught it on camera…not just a still photo…a little video clip! Enjoy!

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!
