What do you see when you read/listen? What sticks out? What makes you feel something? And what are you feeling? 

Tell me all about it.


"The Cow In The Window" by Slade Thackeray

In a house, there was a cow looking out
a window -- all black and white and black.
I stared at her, and she winked at me.

I wondered  how long will she be staying?

Further down the road, two ponies -- 
short and stubby. One of the ponies laid 
out, lounging in a lawn chair.

I wondered  do ponies like that?

Walking down Main Street, past the 
courthouse, there was a man in orange 
beating a judge with a gavel.

I wondered  what made him so mad?

On top of a hill, the sky red, I watched a 
hawk swoop and flutter again and again. 
The hawk hovered, examining a point on the earth.

I wonder        could I ever be so patient?
