Why the Open Mouth?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clouds add a softness
To the forceful bright sunshine--
Curtain to the play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chipmunk eats  the seeds
I have scattered for the birds;
Thus, my intentions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woodpecker rattles--
Pebbles in a hollow jug
Filled with juicy bugs.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dandelions back!
Death/rebirth in the same season;
A fecund Springtime.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Garbage on the road
Strewn carefully--playfully;
Family of bears here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 First the cloud cover;
Then the shadows reappear;
Then the gentle breeze.

 

 

 

 

 

Busy at his work;
Pays no attention to me:
Hungry butterfly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why the open mouth?
Yellow iris seems hungry,
To eat the sunshine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was "spider spit";
(That's what we called it as kids);
Ominous white fuzz.
