My OLW for 2020 is Astonish. Since I’m a big fan of Mary Oliver, it fits. I want to discover the moments, objects, feelings, and connections that astonish me and tell about them.
I was inspired by a fellow slicer to write something that astonished me today in the form of an acrostic (thanks, Terje).
A fresh supply of
Seed for my feathered friends.
The squirrel topples the roof
Off the feeder, but still the
Nuthatch perseveres.
Inside I watch the antics as
Seed scatters to the ground.
Hungry critters feast.
Imagine the Possibilities 
Great word, Rose. There is so much to “astonish” us each day…sometimes something big and sometimes something small. I am sure that you will find many things throughout the year to write about.

I love the idea of an acrostic for the OLW. I’m going to try that in my notebook. Your poem is in harmony w/ Mary Oliver.
