birds too admire
a dooryard full
of flowers
Location, Location, Location
Quiet
snow falling
and trees breathing
the only sounds
Drafts
winter wind
whistles through
front and back doors
Shelter In The Storm
small space
large enough
for refuge
Elemental Kindness
gentle snow
softening the world’s
hard edges
Inside the Bird Box
phoebe
on her nest
of moss and dryer fluff
Quiet White
bright blue sky
hushed by clouds
quiet white surrounds
Neighbor
rest and nest
in a house in the woods
where wind is the nearest neighbor
Off Season
the summer house
in winter entertains
snow and cold
Unexpected Company
uninvited
the sparrow arrives
at the wood duck’s door
Snug
a little bird house
in the great big woods
at peace in place
Birch Bird Box
with a snow cap hat
waits out winter wishing
for a feathered nest.
