The orchestral sound
of mewing cats, barking dogs,
and chirping birds starts the day.
Occasionally I’d prefer
a milder rendition.

When push comes to shove
at the bird feeder, some birds

Slipping and sliding
becomes splishing and splashing
as the icy mass
slowly succumbs to warmer
temperatures and the sun.

Over Gifting

a three-in-one package from
Mother Nature: rain, sleet, snow.

Waiting for the snow,
we creatures here below
must make a choice:

or do we go.

Side by side they sleep,
these two unrelated cats
who have become sweet sisters.

Morning Heist
Knox emerges from
the mist carrying a huge
blue ball stolen from
his friend Pax and brought home to
supplement his store of sticks.

Knox shook his head
when I opened the door.
He looked at me
with pleading eyes
as if asking me
to turn off the rain.

Stuttering Start
Starting tomorrow,,,
a promise made today, but
one also made yesterday.

Woke up too early.
Tried to bribe the sleep makers
with a poem, but
there were no takers so I’ll
try counting each breath instead.
