strong winds blow
tattered tarp waving-
I give up

My photographs (frames) of trees blowing in the wind animated.
We’re having record winds today in the Bay Area and it tore two holes in the sun worn tarp outside on the patio. No bike riding today!
Word
Whether poetry or stories
words are such a treasure
vintage, slang, or common use
they give me so much pleasure.
When I feel the urge to purge
the words become my voice
they come pouring out of me
sometimes I have no choice.
But I’m pleased that I’m a writer
I enjoy the undertaking
cause every writer knows
it’s not for the moneymaking.

The image on the cube (my animation) is called “River Of Poetry” but the artist is unknown to me.

haiku #10317
leaves fall on the water
snowy egrets roost
autumn at high tide
Written for the prompt “fall” at Haiku Horizons. The photograph is mine taken while cycling on the San Francisco Bay and waterways. Snowy Egrets only roost at certain times of the day and season.
My Bicycle
Everywhere I go
it goes too
it keeps me healthy
I’m never blue.
Two rubber wheels
they take me far
there’s no pollution
unlike a car.
It feels like flying
my spirit’s free
wind in my hair
the birds chase me.
It’s good for most everyone
young or gray
practice makes perfect
today’s the day!
My bicycle
can’t be outdone
it keeps me young
while having fun.

I took this selfie in a mirror window I pass by during my rides on the Bay Trail in the San Mateo, CA area. I bike 20-30 miles every other day taking photographs of nature it keeps me happy, healthy and young. If you’re interested in biking, my photos of the Bay Trail or health tips check out my website Bike With Bekkie.
Written with pleasure for my friends at Poets United. Thank you, Susan! Also linking to my friends at Imaginary Garden Of Real Toads.

late fall afternoon
seed pods rustle in the wind
geese fly in formation

cold winds send summer scattering

I Watch
I watch the birds
sometimes on a fence
with wings outstretched
flying in place
feeling the breeze
feathers ruffling
loving the wind.
I watch the birds
so high above me
gliding effortlessly
surveying the world
a pinpoint floating
on an azure backdrop
loving the wind.
I watch the birds
sometimes they watch back
what must they see
earthbound and wingless
self-caged creatures
only able to watch
thirsting for the wind.
