lonely white cat
in and out
of the darkness
lush green grasses
seeing a box turtle stuck
under an iron gate
creek alive with minnows
a large dead carp floats
near the bank
fishing
dragonflies landing
on reed and rod
my coffee cup
watching a bug swim
across the clouds
hawk overhead
sparrow feathers blow across
the river rocks
dark woodland
mayflies swarm
in bright rays of sunshine
dark woods
the bright flash of fireflies
everywhere
motorcycle girls
seeing girls in skirts and heels
walking down the street
loud argument
hearing the quiet voice
of a chickadee
waiting for you
a full moon rises
above the poplars
sidewalk
a worm's smooth body
wiggles through rough stones
summer afternoon
hearing cicadas
starting and stopping
viewing the stars
bright car lights sweep
across the lawn
summer night
hearing distant traffic noise
and frogs croaking
so silent
party balloons drifting
overhead
through the telescope
the beautiful double star
beta cygni
lonely park bench
a girl watches
the boys hangout
giant oak
beneath huge branches
a tiny acorn
enjoying the quiet
a clap of thunder
shakes the house
break in
a squirrel chewing
a hole in the trash can
radio antenna
ants climb the long wire
some going up some down
not welcomed
the large black hornet
on our white curtains
unexpected
a heavy blanket of rain
floods the street
flower box
a squirrel
taking a dirt bath
big timber creek
the incoming tide
consumes the land
taking a bath
sparrows
in the sand box
behind the reeds
a small pond
of croaking frogs
campfire
snapping and cracking
my thoughts
the campfire out
ashes blow in the wind
my lost sister
pulling and begging
at the end of a leash
the dog's owner
campfire
faces dance around
our circle
low tide
a minnow swims a puddle
left in mud
daily greeting
pulling and jerking a chain
the neighbor's dog
