Scent of Snow  (collaborative rengay)
ljc--Lisa Janice Cohen,  sprite,  Gary--Gary Blankenship

in the ivy
a thousand sparrows call
evening prayers                       
(ljc)

she sweeps a ring of seeds
under the budgie's cage 
(sprite)

empty feeder -
in the alders
starlings complain  
(Gary)

black V on the horizon--
compass pointing south
(ljc)

long beak skyward
a stranded stork flaps her wing
scent of snow      
(sprite)  

the antenna twirls--
the movie ruined by gulls  
(Gary)
