Feeding Time, by Marjan Sierhuis

23/4/2021

 
Shallow holes cover the tree’s bark--
A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker feeds while
a Hummingbird beats its wings.

Is poetry a new venture for you, or a return to an old flame?
In either case, you're doing it well!! Nice little visualization here. I have a hummingbird feeder right outside my office window and love to watch them come by for a snack.

Take care
Jim

Hi Jim. Gordon has been kind enough to post over 100 of my flash fictions on his site. It was Gordon who mentioned poetry to me recently. I decided to give it a try and take a break from the the flash fictions.

I appreciate your kind words. I find poems fun to write and an entire new creative adventure.

So much of nature's beauty and wonder in three short lines, Marjan.

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Poetry Submissions Page.
