Under a pink tinged sky,
Knox romps. Now that the rain
has stopped, he can better
save his precious sticks
from his enemies, the squirrels.

Ok, If…
My grandkids said
they’d prefer to be treated
like Knox, my pampered dog.
I said ok…if
they’d keep the squirrels away.

Forecast is for rain,
but at the moment the sky,
though gray, is still clear. We walk.

Open Invitation
Breeze, leaves and light put
on a sparkling show for all
who choose to attend.

Winter Warmth
Bare limbs etched against
red sky as the day comes to
a fiery end.

Nudged
Rising sun, rising
mist – nature’s gentle signal
that we should rise too.

On Our Feet Again
The sun strokes the trees
as we walk, Knox with his stick,
and stickless me.

All In A Day’s Play
Bounding deer, darting
squirrels, dog in hot pursuit,
cats watching the game…

Amidst The Gray
A flash of sunlight,
cardinal’s folded red wings –
blues chased away.

When Sick
Writing a poem
a day won’t keep the doctor away,
but it’s a great distraction.
