the morning lifts
a solitary willow weeps
a babbling brook nearby
deer and fawn present a peaceful scene
the sun begins to glisten
on the dewy grass
field mice run through the meadow
rabbits play hide and seek
bluebirds perched above
on a white pine branch
sudden gunshot echoes
everyone scatters
first day of hunting season
