Hate,
light denying kudzu,
insidious invader,
rapidly spreading destroyer,
knows no limits,
must be removed at the roots.

Knox Takes The Lead
Pungent smell of skunk
greets us as the door opens
on this sunlit day.
Knox’s curiosity
tempers my disgust… We walk.

Unpacking
Unpacking days
almost too heavy to carry,
she was grateful for
the unsolicited gift
of a helping hand.

Calculated Enticement
Sunflower seeds or
wild blackberries?
Hope birds and squirrels
choose the seeds
and leave some berries for us.

Afters
After sweltering days,
today a soft shiver –
something sweet
after the storm…

Red And Blue
One red bird and one
blue bird share the same platform
and peacefully dine,
a feat much yearned for by some
of the red and blue humankind.

At The Snap Of A Finger
Lately the weather
has been a quick change artist,
one minute clothed in
dark, tumultuous outfits,
the next in bright, swaying garb.

On The Other Side
Big black ant
crosses gravel road.
I hope he finds
what he’s looking for.

Current Events
A distant howling –
Knox pricks up his ears
but is soon distracted by
scampering squirrels, enticing sticks –
his version of the nightly news.

Fulfillment
Downpour stops.
Butterfly and hummingbird
find nectar, drink deeply.
No rainbow
Just gold.
