Puddle

Posted on March 8, 2020 by eteal

In my lap is a puddle of purr

With fur so thick

You can not even part it to find skin

That is Love

Warm

Present

Puddling over

Pure

Actual Size

Posted on March 7, 2020 by eteal

High up on the wire

The Coopers’s Hawk surveyed the grasses below

A speck against the sky

Filling my heart

And this whole page…..

Boxed?

Posted on March 6, 2020 by eteal

Sometimes it becomes clear that you that no matter how much you may long to get back in the box,

That is no longer an option

You are out of the box,

Conversations

Posted on March 5, 2020 by eteal

Conversations above my head

Dance above me

But they are not for me,

Still I can enjoy the choir

Bow

Posted on March 4, 2020 by eteal

In my lap is a small fur waterfall

Captured by a bright orange bow

Cuddled up in a circle

A living Enzo

Couplet

Posted on March 3, 2020 by eteal

Two geese

Snow birds

Dined on the tender grasses beside the road

As rush hour traffic swirled around them

Do not get distracted from what feeds you.

I find my gaze returned by golden green orbs

Wake Up!

Tiny trumpets

Posted on February 29, 2020 by eteal

The butterfly was tiny!

A splash of yellow bright

Dancing in the morning light

Among a field of tinier purple trumpets

Can’t you hear the music!

Magic boxes

Posted on February 28, 2020 by eteal

The dog discovered a magic box today

Filled with fun!

You pull on a piece of fluffy white

And out comes another one!

If life is a game

Then everything is a toy

PLAY your world.
