This month, I am collaborating with nonfiction author and photographer, Christy Peterson. You are invited to write and submit a poem based on the photo in the comments.
morning walk at the refuge
the downy woodpecker drums,
a red beret tree flitter
searching for beetles and ants
hidden deep inside tree bark
foraging in late winter
listening and observing
I’m returning to my roots
outside on a nature trail
