golden maple leaf
fluttering in snow laced wind
clasping naked limb

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Rake placed by backdoor
While hot dogs sizzle in pan
-burlap nurtures grass

grizzled tomcat purrs
under a sleepy sunbeam
children play outdoors

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dog barks at shadows
Cast by restless trees at night
kittens chase pulled string
