Sometimes we run out of time

waiting for the right time.

Maybe it’s best to just begin.

Buttercups smile

in the warming weather –

tiny bits of fallen sun.

Those two cats think

they’re so smart, 

but they simply can not bark,

and when I give

them a playful sniff,

all they do is hiss, hiss, hiss.

I know it takes all kinds,

but with those cats

I draw the line.

On sleepless nights

the moon and I have

 lengthy conversations

and often the stars

add some light.

first at the bird feeder,

last to leave –

 our unwelcome guests

If Knox could clap,

I know he would

when he saw me 

toss those sticks

into the woods.

Instead he excitedly

wagged his tail,

and brought them

back  one by one,

happy  I joined

in his fun.
