It seems the deer had
a luncheon date near my porch,
but Knox objected
so they hurriedly moved on
to a more welcoming place.

A bright light begins
to rise over a darkened
horizon marking
the start of a new day.
JDG
They’re going out
in a blaze of color
as they add
a touch of fire
to this cool and rainy weather.
JDG
Sometimes it seems like
we’re living, empty and alone,
in a never-ending void
and only later do we learn
how fertile it was.
JDG
Are they arguing
over directions or just
feel a need to sing?

As nature prepares
for a season of rest
and some birds fly
to their vacation homes,
we watch and wish
we too could be guided
by our inner clocks.

As the sun slowly rises
and the moon slips away,
the pets awake
and loudly suggest
I do so too.
JDG
Seven was plenty
and eight was too many
as squirrels and birds lined
the porch rail to dine.
JDG
Seeing the moon outside my window
helped me remember
even when I’m in the dark
there’s light to be found
somewhere.
JDG
Just ask any dog;
sometimes people are mean and
sometimes they are kind.
You need to pay attention
to any signal they send.
