Crow Vendetta Renga*
Now they dive-bomb me
when I work in my garden
Hitchcock comes to mind…
Beady-eyed adversaries
take aim: foul ammunition
Aha! they cackle
What a putz, a pushover.
Let’s crap on her plants!
Unfazed by stones that fall short
These crows jeer, “We’ll be back!”

I am now a full-time writer having retired from work as a lighthouse keeper, full- and part-time from 2008-2021 on Canada's West Coast. When Life is tough, for a friend or myself, I try to rally with the expression: Onwords! Upwords! hence the title of this blog. At one brief point in my previous career in publishing, I called myself Wayword Promotions and helped colleagues figure out publishing contracts, organize reading tours and the like. Now I'm relaunching my own writing career. Onwords!
