Walking down the street
in a cement city
no trees in sight
Only a three foot square
of shaved grass
the greening part
—————————-
Crow dive bombs my head
screeching with aplomb
—————————-
Go back.. Go back home!
Turtle Buffet
Turtle mused on flowers fancy
“Oh, what a sumptous lunch,” thought he
Then sniffed the air, the perfumed aroma
considered sweet delicacies for free
One step he took in anxious excitement
and another, he took in hyper speed
Perambulating in hurried fashion
to the buffet garden with turtle glee
————————————————-
Now, you and I might smell the flowers
and enjoy the beauty that we see
Turtle, however, munched them with fervor
and partook of their beauty delightedly
Tasty Day
All the day was yummy!
Every little moment
chock-full of experiences
and thoughts
He savored the
multitude of flavors
Yum! Tasty day!
Grateful Moments
Several times
each and every day
Gratitude rises up
in my chest
like stop-motion flowers
bursting open
In full appreciation
of Life
Beginning
On the lone hillside
green going on for miles
the single massive oak
luxuriates in worship of the sun
toe roots buried deep
——–
To sit there in similar fashion
soak up the sun’s rays
buried in deep verdant velvet
at rainbow’s end?
No, it is the beginning…
