Back Yard Oasis

Plants, Trees, Hills, and Grass

White shed black trim corner back

School and Park with kids

Path near fence where two dogs track

Green, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Red, Black

 

Five Pines fifty years

Rock garden and sidewalk near

Lilac Bushes two

Squirrels, Chipmunks, Birds fly through

Expanse of sky white and blue

 

Back yard oasis singing

Leaves like bells ringing

Barbeque Charcoals on fire 

Burgers, Brats, cooked to desire
