earth

the warm summer sun
melting winters cold fingers.
the little boy wins.

the black and white cat
grows a bushy squirrel tail.
hearing poltergeists.

the early bird
watches the sun rise.
night owl feasts.

a bird’s wisdom
does not hang from trees.
soars to the heavens.

the small stood taller
in their boots of bravery.
while knees were knocking.

tweeting little bird
hopping from brown tile to tile.
singing for supper.
