When I'm feeling a little smudgy grey, it only takes a feathered moment for some smiling sunshine to appear...

morning winds
even scavenging blackbirds
are hiding #tanka

flying leaves mystery...

Just saw a mystery happening right before my very eyes...
Leaves flying down from the roof guttering...
Patiently I waited and watched...
A little head bobbed out...my little blackbird friend... clearing the gutters - a job my landlord still hasn't done...
Keep right on friend... pic.twitter.com/pPgHPT4OeN

blank slate path
just swept
of autumn leaves
blackbird flings
his special art #tanka
