MAY 5, photo-collage: editorial retraction



And a couple other pics, now that we're back in the Carolina Lowcountry ...




great blue heron, hunting at dusk


reflected sun, setting at the boardwalk,
Ravenel Bridge in the background



a great egret surveys the boating scene




shrimpers at Shem Creek, SC


helicopter parents mind their gosling


 

TODAY'S POEM (senryu  *

laughing gull


squads of laughing gulls

patrol the public beach, for

crumbs of children's snacks.

Giorgio Coniglio

* learn more HERE about senryu, a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.
