 In August, I started this as a writing prompt from the Mud Puddle.  

This month, I took a class from Georgia Heard.  She has The Poet's Studio and it's a great way to be in community of poets.  We were to write a poem that uses the ears and revise it.  I went to this poem,  
My revisions, before class and after.  
BEFORE CLASS

The Window at Dawn
By Jone Rush MacCulloch


At dawn
Crocosmia shows its blooms-
an invitation
​
Hummingbirds sip nectar
refuel mid-flight

At dawn
a cloud of bushtits hang
upside down- pecking suet

Juncos flit between feeders
breakfast on nuts and seeds

At dawn
grey squirrel flicks his tail
a party crasher
scampers across the railing
A fluster of feathers


AFTER CLASS

At Dawn
By Jone Rush MacCulloch

Hummingbirds sip crocosmia
nectar, refuel mid-flight.


A cloud of bushtits hang
upside down- pecking suet.


Juncos flit between feeders
breakfast on nuts and seeds.

Grey squirrel flicks his tail,
a party crasher,
​

scampers across the railing
a fluster of feathers.
