Today Deer Tomorrow . . .

 Spring

Spring is sprung.

Harbinger

For me it is the first crocus

On the Wet Coast I call home.

In the West Kootenays where

I grew up

Bare pavement and the

Appearance of the first

Bicycle signalled Spring.

The grass is riz.

Busi-ness

For landowners, like

My friend Gerry,

It signals long months

Of lawnmower stories.

Another friend, Al,

Professional gardener

Awaits the time of planting

Making beds afresh

To receive new plants.

I wonder where the birdies is?

Musing

I sit in my

Powered chair.

Look out my

Studio window.

I see the deer,

My eco-frienidly

Lawnmowers,

Munching peacefully.

But, where are the birds?

Postscript

Today I visited Your Dollar Store With More and bought . . .
a bird feeder.

the April PAD Challenge?

What is the April PAD Challenge?
April is poetry month, and Writers Digest has poem a day (PAD) challenge. I did not connect at the beginning but I'd like to share day one: A Communications Poem

Yesterday I wanted to speak

To you. What I had to say

Was important to both of us.

So important that I could not

Find words.

A reef knot tied my tongue

And fear froze my tonsils.

Fear of rejection?

How foolish!

Fear of failure?

Not my duty.

What would I tell you?

God loves YOU!

And has . . .

A message for me.

“when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
