Do They Envy Me?

 

On this green morning,
On this sunny balmy day;
How could I be sad? 

Rhododendron bursts--

Violet explosions of light

Light up my front yard.

Olivia eats;
Munching grass in the front yard;
Bovine lawn mower.

 

Last dandelions

Flourish happily in shade.

Elsewhere, puffs are gone. 

 Michael and Mia
Fight over who gets the bike.
Brother wins again.

 

Dogs bark as I pass,

Loud chorus behind their fence;

Do they envy me? 

Cool soft gentle breeze
Kisses me at hill top
Opening my heart.

Sun dappled forest;

Still shadows lie on the rock;

Light pungent May smell.
