Waiting For It

The buzzards sit
along the fence
doing their bit
to make me tense
What do they know
of where I go
that they won’t say

Yes! Absolutely perfect for my “foresight” prompt! I love the visual of the buzzards and anytime I see them sitting on a fence or rooftops, I am curious as to why they are there, Thank you for joining in.

  Thank you! I’m glad it did. This was written after I saw a committee of over fifty sitting on a fence or in the trees around a pond near where I work. They were there for a couple days. Usually there are only a handful. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a good picture.

You should make this up with Eugenio’s weekly prompt for October 12 – Foresight. I think it fits the topic quite well. You can see my post of that name for a link back to the prompt.

  Thanks! I’ve been busy this week and not reading posts, so I didn’t see her topic. Funny thing, because I knew I was going to be busy so I scheduled this as one of several upcoming posts a while ago. I will be sure to look your post up.
