haibun #2717
Late in winter biking by
I heard a piercing skyward cry
I saw a large bird in the sky
an eagle looked me in the eye
I stopped a spell to watch it fly.
As I continued on my way
along the San Francisco Bay
the waters being calm that day
I watched the shorebirds interplay
stalking the waters for their prey.

serves dinner
with a splash

I talk, write and live bicycles because it’s made me so healthy and happy. I ride my bike from my apartment to the San Francisco Bay Trail every other day. This is an area of woods, natural harbors, wetlands, tidal pools and all the creatures that live there. I often take photos and write about them like today.
The photographs (3 frames) were taken by James Graham (my roommate) and animated by me.
Written with dVerse~Poets Pub for Haibun Monday and shared with Imaginary Garden Of Real Toads for The Tuesday Platform. I see no reason why a haibun can’t rhyme, is there one?

I almost literally lived on the Bay on my bike. My roommate and I just got over some hard financial times. Thank heavens we are doing better and I can joke about it. Love to take you riding with me some day.

Nice rhyme and meter. I liked the images. It makes me want to try animating some images myself using one of those google photo apps.

The Google Photos Auto Awesome (look it up) works really well but if you want special effects try: http://www167.lunapic.com it’s what I use for my kaleidoscopes. Thanks for your kind critique, Frank!
