Unable to wait, that blue jay

dive bombed his way

to where the seeds were spread

and started a morning uproar..

Though they live 

on the same patch of earth,

they inhabit very different worlds.

Knox first eyes me

then the door. When I don’t

 respond, he lets out a sigh,

sits down, and softly whimpers.

“Ok”, I say.  “Just wait a minute.”

He plops down, shakes his head,

covers his eyes as if to say.

“Oh my. This could take all day.”

JDG

Ah, for the first time

in a long time there’s a bit

of a chill in summer’s air –

a gentle promise that Fall 

is on the way.

JDG

In life’s eternal

symphony, each of us

has a part.
