Today Spring kindly
prepared us for Summer with
sunny skies and just
a slight breeze as temperatures
hovered at ninety degrees.

Plumbing The Depths
Reblogged from Mondosedoka, a blog written jointly with my son. One of us writes the opening three lines and the other responds in three lines.
Deep conversations,
supposed to build friendships,
often just foster discord.

swim in deep waters, make sure
your companion wants to go.
Tree Talk
Old, gnarled tree with
fresh, green buds reminds us that
the old can bring forth new too.

Getting Where We Want To Be
We can be so intent
on moving forward
that we fail to see
the value of
taking a step back.

Ground For Wonder
I watch with growing dread
as that small centipede
makes his way along the porch rail.
Almost all the birdseed is gone now
and I fear he’ll soon be gone too.
He approaches first one bird
and then another, but it seems
they don’t fancy centipedes today.
A small flying insect joins the centipede
and the birds fly away.
The birds’ feeding ground is also
these young insects’ playing ground
where they roam safely –
at least today.

Slowly
When the noise dies down
and what’s left is the silence,
I open myself,
tentatively at first, then
with slowly growing ease,
to whatever has been waiting
to finally be heard.

On This Sunlit Day
Congregation of
crows gathered on the porch rail,

Rainy Days And Mondays
New green brings a bright
touch to Monday’s rain-soaked scene
and chases the gray away.

Splendor In The Grass
Infrequent mowing
lets gold shine forth and purple
have its day in the sun.

Quite A Howl
After joining in
with other howling dogs on
DOGTV, Knox looked
at me as if to say, don’t
be so glum; it’s all in fun.
