Trying to Eat Flies



 
Gleam on the table
Making a splash of sunshine;
Outside: morning dew.
Light of the morning
Slowly sweeps across the lawn;
Tree limbs wave softly.
Olivia sits
Taking her morning sun bath;
Trying to eat flies.
Rooster crows loudly;
Silver tassels dance in the breeze;
Faint clucking of hens. 

 
Imperiously
King goose struts with head held high;
Beak touches the sky.
Spider web reaches
But grabs the edge of the fence.
(The fence doesn't mind).
Electric lines flow
Parallel down the mountain
And up another.
 
The road is dim now--
Gray clouds have conquered the sun;
Was it ever out?
