dear hunter,
don’t spook the deer herds,
or else when
the day’s through,
there’ll be food for the birds,
but nothing for you

why first snow
is so alarming,
i’ll never
understand–
it makes my world a charming
winter wonderland
–photo by me

There’s a bench
I use for thinking,
Tucked neatly
In the trees,
Where chimes are always tinkling
Sweetly in the breeze
–Photo by me

the tipi
was the perfect home
for the proud
indian–
until white man sentenced him
to life on the rez

when night comes
to woodland meadows,
the dancing
wildflowers
cease their joyous gyrations
and tuck themselves in

writers’ minds
may hold the small seeds
of some great
ideas
and yet, they may find themselves
waiting for the wind

some turkeys
brutally attack
others to
establish
their god-given mating rights–
like real turkeys

docile deer
occupy the road
in peaceful
protest of
the human exploitation
of their deer trails

trees are made
mostly from the air
with the aid
of sunlight
science is real magic–
the magic of trees
