Deer In The Yard
Some deer were
eating grass in my yard.
I tried to take a picture,
but the motion scared them.
They leaped away.
So fast.
So graceful.
So pretty.
I hope they come back.
###
Cat’s Visit
I was going to pet
the neighbor’s cat
when she came
over for a visit
but she suddenly
sat down,
and scratched herself
furiously
with her hind leg.
Fleas.
###
Dancing Shadows
The tree leaves
wave
in the breeze while
early morning sunlight
shines
on them,
and their shadows
dance
upon my sheer
window curtains.
