Something Nice

Just something nice to look at first thing in the morning.

Wet Gray Fall Day

Billowy cotton clouds majestically migrate south across the sky’s expanse.

Beaver’s nocturnal machinations dot the forest,

and her toothpicks litter the water.

A mated pair of ducks are sole loungers

on this lake clothed in silvery ripples.

Occasional evergreens stand triumphant among darkened bare trees and winter’s encroaching cold.

While scattered dwarf oaks cling tenaciously to their brown leafy raiment amid the landscape surround.

All these,

a backdrop to a pleasant stroll.

calling for a lover.

You will die a virgin.

The Golden Hour

Every eve we take a walk.
The time when dog and I and nature talk.

With Plover’s song and bullfrog’s honk.
With rabbit’s graze and beaver’s swim,
rippling still pond’s mirror.

A bright full moon smiles down upon someone somewhere to the southeast,

suspended between the waning blue of day and indigo of night.

Occasional cicadas click-rasp in the grass.

Rose gold cloud punctuates the sky’s transition to the north,

and the dark, dark, green indistinguishable trees surround us in panoramic horizon.

Solitary ephemeral firefly lights arc impending night.

My soul is quiet.
