Just stopped by to chat
and ask you to take good care
of my habitat.

Given And Received
Hummingbirds and bees
sip nectar from their favorite
bush, but few blossoms
remain. Soon they’ll move on, but
not without a kiss goodbye.

A Small Illustration
That tiny flower,
closed so tight,
slowly opened to the light
showing us it can be done.

As The Storm Rages
Powerless we sit
in the dark, hoping at last
for a glimpse of light,
but it looks like it won’t come
’til the rising of the sun.

Breaking Free
That adventuring calf
leaves his mother and herd behind,
escapes the fence and hits the road
in search of something undefined.

Simple Question, Easy Answer
When there’s plenty,
why do some have too much
and others too little?

Small Morning Pleasures
Outside my window
hummingbirds and bees find their
pleasure as birds dine nearby.

They Say I’m Unstrung
I’m not a puppet
so I have no strings to pull,
but I’m willing to entertain
a reasonable exchange.
I will shed no tears
for those would be puppeteers.

Unceremonious Departure
Through the morning haze
three small deer slowly stroll by,
but when they spot us,
they dash for the woods before
we even have time to speak.

Along The Way
Along the way home
I passed through thundering rain,
gray skies, and sunshine,
yet every person I met
was pleasant, helpful, and kind.
