Merlin was going strong
helping me identify the birds
by their birdsongs
Prairie Warbler
Orchard Oriole
Northern Cardinal
Tufted Titmouse
Brown Thrasher
Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher
Eastern Bluebird
Eastern Phoebe
….when my husband walks up
and kisses me right on the lips
then asks
what did that register as?
a lovebird???
and this is the kind of humor
I love about him
and how I know
he’s a keeper

I love how your list of birds from the Merlin app turns surprising to a sweet romantic gesture. You are blessed.

Thank you, Margaret! I am loving Georgia Heard’s Tiny Writing calendar. Thank you so much for sharing it. Does she make one every month? I’m exploring Demi Sonnets for June as a focus form and have found that a form and a random topic appeal to me.
