They’re counting on us,

those trees who’ve given so much,

not to let them down.

As Thursday slides toward

Friday, anticipation

grows – Fall Break is near.

                                               JDG

Ragweed, please don’t rag

on me and Goldenrod, could

you please spare the rod?

                                                    JDG

Everywhere I look,

within or without, what I

see depends on me.

                                                     JDG

Scouring the sky

for answers, I find only

shifting clouds and crows.

                                                                JDG

The bachelors are back,

decked in blue – roadside flirts no

matter the weather.

                                                                 JDG

Our universe could

very well be one verse in

a much larger song.

                                                     JDG

Without words, they make

their wishes known – these cats, dogs,

and birds I live with.

                                                                             JDG

Not much warmth but lots

of light…like many hard truths

that have come our way.
