Anna with her cat Piper
sparrows grab breakfast
hungry birds
neon fish in a tank
tangerine green purple
caged light
children giggle
run out, in, out, in
sunshine and hugs
black hole on side
of home-made birdhouse
blue birds hesitate
Peace and Love,
Anna
Anna grew up in Alabama, spending her entire childhood in the same house where her parents still live today. Anna is a retired Professor of English and Women’s Studies from the University of North Alabama, where she charmed her loyal and adoring students for almost twenty years until a bad MS exacerbation convinced her that she should start spending her days playing games on her iPad, reading and writing whatever and whenever she feels like it, and watching the birds feed outside her window.
