With indignation
Knox surveys the falling rain
then looks up at me
as if to say “I guess this
means another indoor day.”

Morning Melody
The orchestral sound
of mewing cats, barking dogs,
and chirping birds starts the day.
Occasionally I’d prefer
a milder rendition.

The Way Of Things
When push comes to shove
at the bird feeder, some birds
fight; others take flight.

February Fun
Slipping and sliding
becomes splishing and splashing
as the icy mass
slowly succumbs to warmer
temperatures and the sun.

Over Gifting
Yesterday we got
a three-in-one package from
Mother Nature: rain, sleet, snow.

Winter Dilemma
Waiting for the snow,
we creatures here below
must make a choice:
do we stay
or do we go.

The Cat’s Meow
Side by side they sleep,
these two unrelated cats
who have become sweet sisters.

Morning Heist
Knox emerges from
the mist carrying a huge
blue ball stolen from
his friend Pax and brought home to
supplement his store of sticks.

We All Have Our Limits
Knox shook his head
when I opened the door.
He looked at me
with pleading eyes
as if asking me
to turn off the rain.

Stuttering Start
Starting tomorrow,,,
a promise made today, but
one also made yesterday.
