is the lone tree lonely
or proud to be
the sentry…
This Side Of The Woods
Keeping Watch
at summer’s threshold
a redwing
stands sentry
Duty
guarding the feeder
as dawn wakes the day
Sentry
the bluebird box
stands sentry
over winter’s weathering
of the field
Sentinel
cement sentry
even in sleep
a watchful guardian
Silhouette
sentry in the mist
guardian of daydreams
Spring’s Sentry
Creeping phlox
sneaks up the mountain
stalking the last of the frost.
