The Waterfall
pounding waterfall
roars foaming frothing struggling
to join the calm sea
Bliss
My wonderful late father-in-law
Nov. 8, 1918 – Mar. 26, 2009.
trusting or naive
chickadee alights for food
love is bliss for both
Backyard Buck
tree sheds no teardrops
hunter away seeking game
visiting buck smiles
Temptation
tempting food nearby
go for it or play it safe
scurries fast away
Seagulls
distracted seagulls
warily guarding their find
safety dilemma
Waiting
a new palapa
more tourists arriving soon
perched vultures waiting
Stars
kaleidoscopic
crowded stars compete for space
on the ocean floor
Puppy Teeth
puppy teeth chew shoes
it’s okay … she loves me well
thankful for reprieve
The Old and the Young
Stay away, Old Man
Nay, take a lesson from me
I’ll take my chances.
