Totally Optional Prompts offers: Uninvited Guests - what do you do with them?
boisterous birds
shred the silence from
the first warm spring day
shatter my nerves
camera lens reveals
a baker's dozen shriekers
hopping at the diving board
in the pool and out, except
one frightened screamer
who needs skimming
and set aside to dry
his feathers calmed
before the glorious day
resumes its serenity

I love this! is it a new one? My goodness, the things you find in your pool! Who knew a pool would be such a prolific source of material... I am sorry I'll miss you in ID - you'll pardon me if I hope you have to stay home...
