Crow Lessons
susanna suchak
Clickety, clack, talking back
Crow sits, watches intently
I sit,
We—Sharing secrets
he— Resting in old tree
Me—Sipping cuppa tea
Lone souls he and me
Still, we’re
Good company.

Today Patti Digh called her blog Poetry Wednesdays and it gave me the idea for this.
We have had FOUR days of sunshine in Owen Sound and Juno came nowhere near. But my cousin, Dawn Walker lives in Saugus, Massachusets and they got whacked. I’ve shared this poem at Page to Stage and it seemed to resonate with the adjudicators so I’m putting my neck out and sharing it with you.
It’s Bell Let’s Talk Day so I’m going to be brave and share how I deal with SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which descends upon me here where winter seems to imprison me.
But we’ve had FOUR days of sunshine and this morning a winged fellow was singing his heart out and I know that Spring will come…will come…will come. Just because.
Because
Because Creator smiled;
Because the stars aligned;
Because our paths finally connected.
Because Gord forgot,
there was an R in his name;
Because failure crushed me.
Because your eyes sparkled;
Because I threw down a gauntlet;
Because I didn’t really think you would;
Because you did.
Because backing out was unthinkable;
Because I made a promise long ago.
Because we persist.
We shovel snow …
upon snow …
upon snow.

Right on cue the sun has reappeared in the Owen Sound sky. Tomorrow we gather at Heartwood Home to play, to laugh, to connect. I am sooo ready for this. Thanks to Teesha Moore and Carla Sonheim for sharing their talents which inspired me to stretch and grow my creativity…
We’ll take our glossy “junk mail” … gesso it, paint it, buff it and…
and wind up two weeks from now with this!
If you live in Grey/Bruce … we hope you’ll join us.
