Fluctuating Flight
Legs and wings flailing
the crane fly hovers spasticly
in my air space.
Its erratic flight pattern
causes me turbulence.

Where poetry and nature collide...this tanka was inspired by Michelle Heidenrich Barnes' fun Monthly Challenge at Today's Little Ditty and Tucson's recent invasion of the crane fly.

Ode to Dr. Seuss (reposting)
He went by Doctor -
His real name was Ted.
His books are perfect
When read before bed.
He introduced us
To Green Eggs and Ham,
A hat wearing cat,
That pushy guy, Sam.
With hapless Horton
We heard a faint Who.
He allowed us to ponder
If I Ran the Zoo.
He taught us to "moo"
Like ol' Mr. Brown.
He never failed to
Turn frowns up-side-down.
His books make us think.
His books make us laugh.
His amazing work
Is his best epitaph.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
