BEFORE THE DAWN

Robins start trilling
Anticipation of worms
Sleepers try drilling
Pillows for a couple turns,
Putting off morning concerns.

BIRDIE PERCH
BIRDIE PERCHES
–
Robins on a chain-link fence,
Bothered they flew off hence…
Fat feathered and firm
Looking for the worm
Tto feed young ladies and gents.

FEELS LIKE DECEMBER
FEELS LIKE DECEMBER
At thirty-one, farenheit,
The skunk smells are no more…
Each one must have found a place to stay
And food sources nearby in store.
–
The geese in the pond are mighty few,
It may ice up overnight…
There’ll be less deposits on the walk
To clean up at morning light.
–
Snow in the midwest may come our way,
Perhaps some by this weekend…
The ski resorts could use revenue
Cold weather’s a snowmaker’s friend.
–
A little mouse ran out across my path
Under our canopied walk…
Would he say, “it’s too darn cold for me”
If he were allowed to talk?
–
He beelined it for a bed of dry leaves
Near bushes where he could be warm…
His worms must’ve retreated when it got colder,
Like him, they want to ride out the storm.
