An albino fawn
on a solitary walk,
pauses for a bite
before slowly moving on
accompanied by bird song.

Multiple Points of View
So glad this house has
many windows connecting
me to the world out there
while I’m confined to bed or chair.

In Good Paws
Knox is watching over me
as I slowly begin to heal,
occasionally bringing me
a toy or offering me his paw.
Sensing my frustration,
he even reprimanded the cats
for demanding to be fed
and does his best to shield me
from those ever-present squirrels.

Serenity Interrupted
Under cloudless skies
cardinals, bluejays, woodpeckers,
crows, and ravens dined,
but, of course, they were soon joined
by their neighbors, the squirrels.

Solitary Confinement
Lassoed with “nos”, tied
up with “nots”, she was held
prisoner by her thoughts.

Come On, Guys
In the distance
multiple crows caw.
It’s awful early
for a brawl.

In The Night Sky
An unblue blue moon,
but bright and full nonetheless,
let its beauty shine.

Morning Birds
They don’t even wait
for me to finish laying out
the seed before they’re there,
poised and ready to eat.

Moving To A Different Beat
In our fast paced world
of speed and multitasking,
it takes discipline
to pause, slow down, take a breath,
focus, and simply savor.

Spring Visitors
We’re glad to see them come
and we’re glad to see them go:
those rain soaked days.
