hawk eyeing the squirrel
it followed to a cypress
squirrel eyes the hawk, too
(picture by Rick McFarland,
Arkansas Democrat Gazette)
~~
yesterday, plucking
6-inch frozen stems with buds
now, yellow showing
~~
without those who care
no reason to make
snow ice cream
~~
cat sitting in snow
black on white
next glance, only white
~~
cat stalking leaves
not quite buried
by the snow
~~
cardinal, bluejay
bright against snow-laden gray
of bare branches
~~
five inches of snow
yet she bundles up and car crawls
five miles to the gym
~~
on the snowy heap
of garbage a handful
of wilted jonquils
