Slight breezes caress

the trees this almost sunless

Sunday afternoon,

giving Knox and I a chance

to seize the moment and walk.

Judging from the way

all the bird seed disappeared, 

I’d say both the birds 

and those hungry squirrels found

it good to the last kernel.

JDG

Round and round I go,

spinning the same old story.

It’s time for me to

take a break in hopes I’ll find

some better material.

JDG

I never saw it

because I failed to look, but

sight unseen, it inched

 closer,  stared me in the face,

and screamed, “Wake up, sleepy head!”.

JDG

Knox basks in the sun.

but remains on the lookout

for visitors of

all kinds, two legged or four,

who might like to romp or soar..

JDG

I rose early to

see the day’s opening act.

For a brief moment

sun and moon shared the stage til

the moon left and joined the stars.

JDG

Midway through the day

the sun and the clouds  came to

an understanding 

and agreed to alternate

their prominence from above.

JDG

There are no fixes,

quick or otherwise, for this

broken world of ours,

but we can mend what we can,

and try not to break the rest.

JDG

When our minds begin

an internal audit with

a list of all our

flaws and failures, let’s balance

the account with our assets.
