Awaken when the woodpecker knocks.
Birdsong accompanies the noontime meal.
Eagle’s cries announce the surrender of day to dusk.
Hen House
These ladies
live in luxury.
Log Bridge
A fallen tree
makes the perfect spot
to sit and spy on fish.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles in the tree’s bark
will forever honor the missing branch.
Smile lines of its former reach.
Legacy
Way out back in the shanty shack
tools rust and cobwebs gather
waiting for you to find your history.
Adventure
The back porch stairs
lead to the whole
of the wild woods and world.
