Mystery October Ground Cover

Field after field of
alluring crimson carpet.
Lowbush blueberries!

Somewhere along the road...

...from Truro, Nova Scotia to Bar Harbor, Maine.

Cormorant Silhouette

Cloudy eve wing spread.
Nova Scotia pole dance, but
no sun to dry wings.

Sleek black cormorants
recall the children's classic
Story About Ping.

Moment of grandeur.

@ Silver Lining Inn, Cheticamp, NS

Driving in Nova Scotia

Two great, thick-bodied,
broad-winged fliers hanging with
a flock of sleek, dark,

long-necked fishing birds.
The lean showing the great where
to dive for best catch.

Silhouettes at first.
Close look revealed cormorants
and two bald eagles.

Fungi Kingdom 14&15

While I find mushrooms
infinitely compelling,
even enchanting,

I didn't set out
to write a haiku about
fungi every day.

So many mushrooms,
So little time for haiku
Of other moments.

Geese flying southward
over Prince Edward Island
Will they through Georgia?

Like flower petals,
or Avonlea Anne's straw hat,
hiding in the grass.

Fungi Kingdom 12

Millions of species
of fungi clean up the earth.
This one needs an elf.

Quietly, humbly
keeping the ecosystem
in vital balance.
