The northern pintail does not hesitate.
For mating season, he's never late.
When he espies the first spring flower,
He heads north at fifty miles per hour....

Equivocal Euphoria


A bird song heralds

a halcyon morn, espies--

wiles of a keen hawk.

A fawn 
caught
in a dawning
of a morning
kiss,
Head rise
and espies
high skies
sniffs,
Find edibles
accessible
incredibles
bliss,
It jerks
one lurks
now alert
amiss,
harm perceives
imminent believes
escapes heaves
dismiss.

A hungry cat
    might pick at a rat
  But she'd prefer to
    feast on a fish

  Whereas a dog
    refuses 'puppy chow'
  If he espies
    some meat on a bone

  As for me, I'm not picky
    I'll eat what's put on my plate
  As long as it's still edible ~
    to Heaven I don't want to be late...

Waves crest briefly, espies the seas expanse,
So far from shore, patience, creeps e'er so close,
Braves surfs the crest, on boards they take a stance,
Radar in their psyche of what all knows,
Saves for another day challenge a chance,
A star peers horizon's waves crest and pose,

Crests still tops the waves, like eyes blues the night,
Guests on a beach, sees sea with eyes of white.

A little boy is made of
his mother’s love and dreams,
embodiment of the future
fulfilling Daddy’s schemes.

A mother’s heart will melt and run
at wonder in his eyes
when he first espies a rainbow
or bright star in the skies.

Can Mother’s heart contain the love
or Dad’s such intense pride
as must be theirs when their four sons
are lined up side by side?

Though sometimes it is hard to pray
amidst unending noise,
they know God hears their gratitude
for their loved little boys....
