splashing like children
even the old woodpecker
man-made rain
outdoors
Promises
chickadees twitter
at the empty feeder
broken promises
Hearing
nursing her fawn
the doe’s ears detect
the rustling of mice
English sparrows
English sparrows
freeloading push-and-scrappers
I feed them all winter
Hiking the Trail
we study the map
a jet roars overhead
making its own trail
Forest News
on the forest trail
we become big news
opinions a-twitter
Pointing the way
hiking trail
vees of wild geese overhead
point the other way
