Those white butterflies

flutter here and there,

dancing to a tune

only they can hear.

Knox and the cats gave

me a Mothers’ Day treat by

letting me sleep for

an extra  five minutes  before

their howling and meowing

for breakfast  began.

Honeysuckle’s sweet smell

carries me back through time.

I’m five years old

and Ricky Peacock is showing me

how to sip honey like a bee.

Then we spot a rabbit and hop

off after him, hoping to find his burrow,

but he is cleverer than we are 

and also very fast.

The woods at evening

slowly grows darker until

the moon appears 

adding both mystery and light..

Six months old child

points at a bunny from her stroller,

eager for the day

 she too can hop.

After taking

the sky by storm,

those dark clouds

congratulated themselves

with a round of

thunderous applause.

JDG

The ridiculous

and the sublime – each evokes

a smile however brief.

JDG

After a stormy night,

the air fills with

gently falling tears.
