​too close
to the giraffe fence
my father’s wavy hair
mistaken
for grass

Poet, artist, and retired schoolteacher Judith Pascoe lives in the Queensland bush at the foot of Mt. Tamborine, Australia. She says “As I age, I realize mistakes are part of life, being an imperfect human. I try to fix them when possible, and resolve not to repeat. However sometimes mistakes result in a glorious serendipity!.

Luminita Suse lives in Ottawa, Canada. She loves to make breakfast and watch birds. Recently she had the joy of holding Darwin, a great-horned owl, on her arm. He turned his head suddenly and they stared in each others eyes for a few moments. All that time she held her breath, careful to not make a mistake and scare Darwin.
