Fall's last call

Brown bunnies hop around my driveway
Fluffy squirrels scamper the other way
They’re eating bird seed
Six of them feed
Elaborate rodents starting my day...

Cat under the bird feeder,
angry squirrels
show their teeth,
scamper along
high branches.
Birds eye the seeds
dare not.
Nobody eats.

pecan trees drop nuts
leaves turn crispy brown, twirl down
squirrels scamper, horde
honey bees swarm, he grabs me
laid down on top in a ditch     ...

dark as death that awaits us discreetly
eyes as bright as the full moon
Scamper, my cat is cute

Pretty girls turn my crank and oil my squeaks
Age has no bearing, I'm ready so to speak
Still ready to meander
My fingers will scamper
All over her landscape listening to her shriek...

Foxes
lay in the dirt
summer heat
red red against the dusk
mama watches kits chase shaking herself
 fireflies dance about
she wanders to the creek for water
they scamper behind her
ready for adventure...

Pretty girls still turn my crank and oil my squeaks
Age has no bearing, I'm ready for action so to speak
Still ready to meander
My fingers will scamper
All over her landscape listening to her shriek...

Autumn leaves of gold
Creating soft, warm cushions
To shield from the cold

Grey November sky
Temperature is dipping
Time for ducks to fly

Squirrels scamper on
Weeping in the willows shade
Thought of days forgone...

on a ghostly night

princesses and "kiddy" cats -

alongside monsters -

scamper without a care

beneath a Halloween moon

there are foals in the paddock

long teetering legs wobble and scamper

I want to keep seeing them

even when they are no longer here

we will make golden shadows together

where the sun runs the fence...

Roaming a national park, ya gotta watch for bears
Don't panic if you meet one, remain calm, say your prayers
Suggest to this dude
You're tainted food
Farting works well, they'll scamper off, and you'll be spared...

Listen to poem:

with scamper and scurry, slither and slink,
with rustle and rattle, crackle and snap
the shy, bashful, humiliated and humble
sneak away scared, to hole-up and hide-a-way
covering up their foibles and fears, 
which they know all too well....

Age has no bearing, I'm ready for action so to speak
Still ready to meander
My fingers will scamper
All over her landscape listening to her shriek

Tweeting out my final tweets
before they shut her down;
Becky Blue from Governance
is packed and leaving town.

Silly little rabbit perched there,
high up on the shelf.
Time to scamper in the woods,
go verify yourself.

an opal gray fog
hangs over the lake and woods
morning birds calling

a ghostly airplane
engines echoing loudly
as chipmunks scamper

empty swings dangle
each awaiting toddlers squeals
the sun burns a view

Setting sun anointing the temple spires with beams of gold
Monkeys scamper along the walls calling out their joy in living
Supplicants pray that each day will end with such inspiration
