Grackle lessons

I had thought that yoga would be a good idea.  Having never done yoga before, I thought a class entitled Yoga for Beginners would be right up my alley.  It seems my brain did not agree with me.  So I am home learning lessons from the grackles, paying attention to the things I already know how to do, perhaps learning to do them better.

I am home

Making different plans.

The grackles gather

First in the back yard,

Then in the front,

Now in the trees.

They plan their trip south.

I am home

Making plans of my own,

Plans to continue doing

What I am doing,

Things that have worked

Up until now.

Change is not always

A good thing.

The grackles,

After all,

Are planning their usual trip

South for the winter

To return again in the spring

As usual.

I am home

Making usual plans

Like the grackles.

I am home

Learning grackle lessons.
