Picnic Timeless

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I'm quite blown away by this.

In particular, the chicken-centric perspective; the way the chicken assumes she is giving directions to another chicken jolts one out of one's normal mode of viewing the world. Combined with the description of the bird as a complex emotional being... it's realy powerful.

Thank you for sharing.
