Dropping Zone

is a flutter of feathers
from awnings
as pigeons sweep to the street,
their sentry spotting
a morsel flung
upon the sidewalk

perhaps
someone too full, doesn’t
really matter
leftover pizza promises an
interesting snack.

Anxious wings
send
shoppers scampering
knowing these
fowl creatures have
nasty weapons in
an arsenal of droppings.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
