Scurrying around
trying to get somewhere by
moving in all directions.

A Puzzling Matter
So often we look
for answers outside ourselves
and forget to look within.

Lunar Reassurance
Full moon shimmers through
clouds, reminding us the stars,
though hidden, are there.

Beaver Moon
Yesterday nothing was halfway
as sun, moon, and earth aligned
and for a moment the full moon
was totally eclipsed, but soon
she escaped earth’s shadow.
May earth escape ours as well.

Crows’ Cause
I don’t know if you’ve
ever been scolded by crows,
but they waste no caws.

If You Can’t Beat Them…
Out our way Knox is used to
being the biggest dog around,
but yesterday Bella stole his crown.
He sized things up in a flash
and invited her to run and dash
’cause play beats crowns any day.

Morning Serenade
The morning choir
of cacophonous crows
could definitely use
some fine tuning.

Fullness
Through the grey morning mist
and the lingering smell of
fall decay, we walk,
taking note, too, of
the gold along the way.

Nothing Subtle Here
Upon my return
Knox wiggles and howls.
It might be from joy.
It could be a rebuff, but
one thing’s clear –
I’ve been gone long enough.

Grave Matters
What a joy it is
to suddenly stumble
upon an essential
aspect of ourselves
that, long ago in an effort
to please, we buried alive,
and to find, though buried,
it remains very much alive.
