Getting in one last nibble
before the rain,
those two birds, one red,
one black, took their time
as the sky slowly darkened.

Lyrical Accompaniment
Unexpectedly,
old songs play in my mind
as commentary
on the present moment.

As The Sun Sets
Those deer took their time
moseying across our lawn,
pausing to nibble
on whatever struck their fancy –
the epitome of ease.

Stepping Out
They say a journey
of a thousand miles starts
with a single step.
I’m keeping that in mind as
I aim for ten thousand steps.

A Loud Exchange
Why he decided
to talk back to thunder,
I’ll never know,
but Knox and thunder went at it
as the puzzled cats made a hasty retreat.

What She Found
Reaching for the moon,
she touched,
not the moon,
but her visionary self.

A Natural Gathering
Four little mushrooms,
alike but distinct, basking
in the noonday sun.

A Touch Of Hope
Little sprig of green
on a bare limb –
sometimes it’s like
that for us after
we’ve been stripped bare.

Search No More
Everything’s grist for
the poetry mill as my
ODE TO VOMIT shows.

Ode To Vomit
Ah, Vomit…you are
tangible evidence of
what I can’t stomach,
a reminder to always
be mindful of what I take in.
