September So Far


Cold front moves in
to our place like the old
missionaries I’ve read about

starlings taking summer on
to their busy wings the burden
of warmth.

  1. I love this Ashley... we are just getting the first hit of summer (though it is still early Spring), so pretty soon, like the starlings, we will be carrying the burden of warmth.

  2. Thanks, Graham! It's hard to see summer go, as always, but I guess it's time for the rest of you to have a share. What would be lovely would be to trade my dead of winter for a few days (or weeks!) of Brisbane in February. Nothing better than thinking about being somewhere hot and sunny when stuck in an ice storm.

    Starlings are wonderful, aren't they?
