Prompts: Lilacs and Roses and terms for various groups of animals (from the San Diego Zoo)
Memories of the lilacs and roses
float through the clouds in my coffee
Brought to mind by the charm of finches
and the chattering of starlings
chasing the kettle of hawks away
That was before a murder of crows
swooped into the trees
portending a future
full of a clutter of spiders
and a den of snakes
When all I wanted to see was
a flutter of butterflies again
Instead, I got a pack of dogs
and a sounder of swine
Life truly is no bed of oysters
