A tiny bird sits
in the midst of purple blooms
singing in the rain.

Homecoming
Light rain greets the pond,
happy to be back again.
It’s been far too long.

It Bears Repeating
Not sure we heard him the first time,
that owl teaches us
what it means to give a hoot.

Rabbits are hopping
all about as the crows call
for a moratorium.

Encounters
Two angry squirrels
fight. Nearby, two cardinals kiss.
It takes all kinds.

Melodious Rendition
Though the skies are gray,
the day looks bright with so much
still to celebrate.
Past, present, and future join
in a harmonious song.

High And Low
At the pond’s edge stood
a Wild Blue Herron
examining the water
beneath his feet before
he flew off in search of
something better in the sky.

but kids and parents complain.
