Cars pause as young deer

dart across the road, eager

to see what’s on the other side.

JDG

Knox and his cohorts

keep me on schedule whether

I like it or not

and no explanation for

a much needed change will do.

JDG

Sometimes sunny, sometimes gray.

sometimes hot, sometimes not,

Summer lingers but cannot stay.

 Autumn should be on the way,

but, perhaps, has been delayed.

JDG

Something’s not to those

crows’ liking and they’re clearly

letting us all know.

JDG

Purple and orange

flowers dance beside the road

waving hello and goodbye.

JDG

That squirrel hurled himself

at the door, outraged that his

morning meal had been delayed.

JDG

Knox is watching over me

as I slowly begin to heal,

occasionally bringing me

a toy or offering me his paw.

 Sensing my frustration,

he even reprimanded the cats

for demanding to be fed

and does his best to shield me

from those ever-present squirrels.

JDG

Sometimes we can see

better when our eyes are closed

than when they’re open.

JDG

Let’s take a break from

our worries to take in

Spring’s bright blossoming.
