Guilt-tripped by the birds.
As they lined the porch rail,
their message was clear:
even though it’s raining
we still have to eat.

Moments In Time
Relishing cool days
in August while they last,
learning to treasure
each golden moment along
with the not so golden ones.
JDG
Sunflower Greetings
A field of smiles
happily waves to me as
I grin and wave back.
JDG
Redirection
In its search for light
that tree’s branch took a few twists,
but finally found
what it was looking for. Now
it gives birds a place to rest.

Earth Music
On this wee patch of ground
there’s a whole lot going on.
There’s more than I can hear or see
as one note in this moving symphony.

You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover
For a bird that looks
so ominous, that raven
always dines in peace,
doesn’t threaten smaller birds,
joins them for their morning feast.

A Study In Contrasts
It’s after midnight
and all through the house
grandkids are stirring,
but not me and the mouse.
JDG
Heat Wave
I woke up to find
the land around me was now
an outdoor sauna
through which I was unprepared
to walk but Knox disagreed.
JDG
Diving In
That raven came for
a sample and ended up
eating a full meal.
JDG
To The Moon And Back
I didn’t mean to hop
on that thought cloud
and drift into the past,
but when Knox gave his leash
an unexpected tug
I made a sudden landing.
