Theme Thursday prompt Round
Van Gogh wrote, “Life is probably round.”
Roundness
All is round
In cycles
Time
Life
Seasons
Day into night
Sun
Moon
And the planets, too
From my center
I survey the spot
I occupy
Look all around
All is radial
All is round
I look into your round eyes
See your roundness
See mine
I see the roundness of my being.

Fly Catchers
It is the third year
We have returned
Found the little platform
Built by the man
We built our nest — round
The first day I got back
I was outside the woman’s studio
At the top of my voice
I chirped, “I’m back!
I’m home!”
This year has been
A regular soap opera
I lost my wife
Then found another
She left
Mated with another fellow
Then found a wife
That would stay
We had five eggs
That were round
Raised four round chicks
Days of intensive study
Prepared them for life
We will return again next year
As they say in Texas
“God willing and
The creek don’t rise.”
