Carpe Diem Little Critters # 20 Wren
tiny jenny wren
with her song joyous and loud
awakening all
~~~
on a winter morn
wren checking spider webs
for breakfast tidbits
~~~
amid the ivy
jenny wren performs
serenade
~~~
cherry warbles
resound on the air
wren’s song
~~~
solo performance
little wren with her tail poised
showing her all

This poem is an old one from 2001. Thought I tried to edit it to free style form but not very successful, or does it just become a different poem all together?

Carpe Diem #654 Shepherd’s Purse
tiny seeds spilled
across the walkway
shepherd’s purse empty
chaffinch joyously feasting
on unexpected bounty

garden brimming
with scents and color
daisies from A to Z

in the spring garden
stirring in the breeze

fields of gold
blaze in the summer sun
tickseed blossoms
purple cone flowers
nectar for the butterflies
on a summer’s day
The Tanishi “mud-snails” are about 1 inch long. They out compete, native snails, mussels, and clams in America and Canadian because they eat literally anything.
Not familiar with these snails, i just wrote about the tiny ones in my garden.
on my son’s porch
every dawn and dusk
snails congregate
~
silver snail trails
sparkle in the dirt
early morning
~
lichen covered branch
rots on ground
underneath a few fat snails
