Grass, flowers, bushes,
trees and me –
we all welcome the rain.
We need a break
from this record-breaking
summer heat.

Morning Show
A faithful viewer,
our cat, Murphy, lies abed
watching the antics
of birds and squirrels.

Close Call
Out of nowhere, they came,
those three deer. So intent
on crossing the road
to get to the other side,
they almost didn’t arrive.

In All Kinds Of Weather
Whether in full leaf
or totally bare, a tree’s
always completely there..

True Blue
In spite of the heat,
those bachelor buttons stood by
the side of the road and waved.

Early Morning Exchange
Black beak open wide,
that raven pronounces
his satisfaction with the seed
spread before him.
I acknowledge his appreciation
with a nod and a smile.

Have You Heard?
This summer morning
the bees were all buzzing from
their honeysuckle rush.

Inside And Out
The poet in us
moves through the world
dancing with whatever it meets.

In Clover
On a morning hop –
two baby rabbits and one
adoring mother.

A Real Alternative
Instead of waiting
for the other shoe to drop,
let’s put on our shoes and walk.
