End My Day

25 8 16
                                    

Doves are courting

Deep in green trees

Soft coos linger

And waft with breeze


Tan seeds twirling

From maple trees

Seeking new ground

For roots to seize


Honeysuckle

Perfumes backyard

Small woodpecker

Sharp raps bombard


Blue jay chortles

High up in tree

Cardinal gives nut

To mate then flees


Last night's raindrops

Linger in air

Wind gusts in spurts

Lifting my hair


Big dark gray cloud

Drifts overhead

Breeze feels cooler

No shadows tread


Squirrels interrupt

Desire to write

Begging peanuts

Squabbles ignite


Through break in clouds

Sunbeam escapes

Dancing through leaves

Over landscapes


Spinner's prism

Refracts sunlight

Small rainbows twirl

To my delight


Sunbeam soon fades

As clouds crowd in

Storms are brewing

For late night din


A hissing sound

Watch raindrops fall

Ends in moments

A brief spring squall


Under porch's roof

Watch nature sway

Soak up her sounds

To end my day
