A milky-eyed mourning dove Sat upon a tombstone - tacit - Inside the grounds of St. Francis To admire a cache betroved. A sentinel's duty - it bears - Not broken by a morning beam - Even the shuffle of the wind Could not disturb the atmosphere. The dove - it eyed me peacefully - Let out a feathered sigh. I felt it -...

Vicious and mean those two stray dogs if not for my fence the female grey would have quickly killed my two old dogs. She angrily bark and looked as if she would lunge through the chain link fence. I yelled at her in a booming voice with authority. She looked up at me our eyes met and she left...

One Mourning Dove At my kitchen table On a cold and sunny day, A gray dove spied and stared at me, He took my mind away. So still he sat outside my window, Puffed fat against the cold, Once I think I heard him mourn, So still we stayed, he bold.
