As much as we’d like,
things are seldom black and white,
but sometimes there’s gold.

Watered Down Versions
Clouds in shades of pink,
white, and gray catch sight
of themselves in the pond –
mere reflections of their lofty selves.

Come On, Boy
On a walk with Knox
waiting for something to drop
other than this rain.

Today And Everyday
With a simple wag of the tail,
Knox sends waves of love
my way and lets me know
even though I might be blue
I’m solid gold to him.

Noisy Travelers
A brief stopover
was all those geese needed
before they resumed their flight.
It’s too bad they couldn’t
give their honks a rest too.

Comings And Goings
It seems the deer had
a luncheon date near my porch,
but Knox objected
so they hurriedly moved on
to a more welcoming place.

At Last
A bright light begins
to rise over a darkened
horizon marking
the start of a new day.

Autumn Leaves
They’re going out
in a blaze of color
as they add
a touch of fire
to this cool and rainy weather.
JDG
Now And Then
Sometimes it seems like
we’re living, empty and alone,
in a never-ending void
and only later do we learn
how fertile it was.

Those Geese Overhead
Are they arguing
over directions or just
feel a need to sing?
