Solitary Confinement
Find a place
An empty space
With no one near
Or media in ear
Purge mind of chatter
Bid adieu to Mad Hatter
Dump dissonant din
Embedded within
Take personal license
To gorge on the silence
Welcome closest of kin
Nature back in
Its melody sweet
Laid at your feet
Your soul to renew
As fresh morning dew
Inspired by Daily Prompt – Priceless
White-Breasted Nuthatch
Down the tree head first he comes
Dexterous, lively with aplomb
A smorgasbord of food awaits
Without delay he does partake
Transporting seeds up in the tree
Grabs all he can, as it’s for free
Back and forth and up and down
Until satiation has been found

Just Oozing With Goodness
We just canned the first batch of tomatoes
for the growing season.
There are still many green ones yet to ripen
and pick before frost.
After a cool start to August, temperatures
have warmed back to seasonal highs.
This should help to finish them off in time.

When Things Snowball
A single snowflake
floats innocently down
Joining others
to form a snowball
Now of sufficient heft
perfect to smite others
Flake upon flake
snowdrifts amass
Their collective weight
an avalanche making
Engulfing justice
in a furious blaze of white
But a single branch
of self-interest
Left
poking through
Inspired by Daily Prompt – Unfurl
Amble On
down walkway wander
into distant horizon
eternity waits
