Her dish was empty.

She gave a pitiful cry.

“How could you let this happen?”.

Summer was so mad

that it soon would have to go

its protest grew quite heated.

JDG

When our birds in blue

came upon the seed robbers

they knew something was squirrelly.

JDG

Saunas have their place,

but now it seems they’ve laid claim

to the entire outdoors.

JDG

Refreshed by the rain,

flowers, bushes, and trees nod

their heads in satisfaction.

JDG

Sun plays hide and seek

as seagulls soar through the sky

and wind teases the ocean.

JDG

Lying on the rail,

that squirrel nibbles on some seed.

It’s too hot to sit or stand.

JDG

Their thirst now quenched, trees,

bushes, plants, and grass wait for

the warmth and light of the sun.

JDG

Even though there’s not

a single tree,  that small deer

is not out of the woods yet.
