The Oracle Speaks — Sanctuary (for Kerfe)

brown thrasher

Bright brown bird,
a peace on green,
sanctuary between
earth and cold moon.

both a magnet poem *and* an American Sentence

I looked at the word list given today at magnet poems and “bright brown bird” jumped out at me.  I immediately thought of Kerfe’s “Draw a Bird Day” post this week.  This poem is for you, Kerfe.

  2. I love Brown Thrashers. I haven’t seen any in my neighborhood. I love how you added the magic with mention of the cold moon.

      Thanks much, Max. The Oracle has been good to me. Dang, it’s 730 pm and I’m just now signing in to the blog. It’s been a beautiful day out there. Getting geeked for the beginning of Kinkmania! :)

          Max, good time a year for painting. This place could use some paint also. Glad to hear you all got a start on it.
