Same old song and dance
daily at the bird feeder.
Same old smiles from me too.

Seasonal Switch
Trees are beginning
to slowly change their summer
attire for warmer hues.

To Each His Own
Visiting cat meets
unwelcoming chihuahua.
She is not his cat’s meow.

Opening Act
Morning sun
brings a sparkle
to trees and ground.
May it also light
a spark in me.

On High
Evening sky,
streaked with pink,
bids the sun goodbye,
greets the moon,
waits for the stars’ passing wink.

Leavetaking
One brown leaf remains.
Except for that the tree is bare.
Leaving home, it seems,
can be hard even for
dry and weathered leaves.

That Sparkle
Beneath a blue sky,
fields, still green, sparkle
in the morning sun.
I wouldn’t mind
sparkling too.

Grey Peace
Light rain falls,
a few birds call,
damp leaves whisper
beneath my feet…
grey peace.

Ah, That Knock Again
Ah, that knock again…
it’s weariness
seeking refuge,
a quiet place
to lay its head.

Startled By Starlings
It seems I live beneath
an avian thoroughfare.
Birds can get noisy,
but unlike us,
they don’t have crashes.
