I did see that...and enjoyed it.  Slate and Style  has not been read yet... 
having major eye issues right now so both my computer  and reading time 
have been limited again...
a really quick haiku for you

Autumn has arrived
Bringing chill to bayou's morn
Winter waits its turn

Did you seem my poem in Slate and Style?  That's  about the only think new 
I've done except for a Haiku about New York City that  I did in part of an 
Email chain.

Here it is as I remember  it.

Thank you  Shawn.. that's how I see it...  hey  anymore short verse coming  
from your way?  I finished my book of short and  semi-short  verse and it 
is 
aptly named Bits and Pieces...That book was both a   challenge and a 
wonderful 
learning experience....

I love it, "feathered  baton", that is a cool way to  look at it.  And the 
idea that  the discord is a sign of joy at being  alive and well is really  
neat.

When I saw  the word I had to share a piece I'd  written  actually titled  
'Cacophony'.  It is written in a  poetry form developed by   myself and a 
friend, 
called a  tankabun, a hybrid if you will of a  haibun.   I just hope you  
enjoy the  piece..

Cacophony

Such a discordance
Of  chirps,  tweets,  and warbled voice
Makes me wonder
If the  master composer
Has   misplaced his feathered baton

It is  not the beauty of song that draws  me  outdoors, braving the damp  
frigidity of this winter morning. It  is the  sheer noise!   This is not a 
collaborative effort  becoming one avian voice.   This is not harmony of 
sparrow and 
wren,  warbler and  finch.  No, this is an  exclamatory oration from each,  

determined to be heard in their collective  audacity.  I  laugh,  joining 
the 
non-melodious flock, as realization  shivers  through  me.  These are the 
off-key 
mutterings  of winged friends,   discovering that winter has neither frozen 

their wardrobes nor silenced  their  voices.  The master's  baton has not 
been 
misplaced after  all and even  he  applauds them and this, an impromptu 
composition of  feathered   cacophony.
