Fierce hunter, osprey
carries his catch
like a prized ruby –
riveting sight
At home, hubby
prepares his pride –
squirt of extra-virgin,
dash of extra spice
I observe them both
bemused by the process,
cooking up this poem.

This piece reminds me a bit of Billy Collins’ style of writing. You’ve meshed two similar moments in life, and then incorporated the gist of both into a third. Brilliant!

It is. We have a family that nest here each year, so I enjoy their company frequently. Those eyes though

Sometimes it is just nice to be an observer of the world. The way you capture each moment and connect them is wonderful; I found myself nodding my head as I made the connection.
