A Somewhat Short Poem About Almost Nothing

entry picture

We check the new fountain

purchased today. A solar powered one,

making sure it’s not misbehaving.

 

The late afternoon sun is waning

and the fountain is struggling

to keep the water spouting.

 

A grey tufted, winged traveler

doesn’t seem to mind the issue,

while splashing about in appreciation

 

for the aquatic addition to its surroundings.

Now, if we can just remember

to keep filling the darn thing with water…

The things we, humans fuss over. Nature sent you a winged reminder to always be grateful. Beautiful!

We get great pleasure from watching the birds in the bird bath.
I think the magpies have learned to dunk pieces of bread they've found elsewhere, in the water.
Luckily we get plenty of rain so it gets filled frequently!
