scampering fledglings practice
robins taking flight

Mummified zombie
Walking down the streets of town
Collection of cats
Scampering alongside him
Threatens all that enter path

running to and fro

The pitter patter of petite paws
Puppies take off across the linoleum
After a ball dancing and bouncing along the floor
They hear their owner whistle 
They yip in response
Scampering back to the kitchen for dinner...

Cold
alone
afraid; yet
still scampering.
hoping searchers last
throughout the chilling night.
never stop moving; praying 
Great master lead me onto paths
where volunteers continue searching.
Lift My voice to sing;  that I may be found!...

scampering, scurrying
     rushing back and forth
   anxious looks, beads of sweat
     merge into rivulets

   the significance of the moment
     all boils down to this   
   the visitors from Planet X2Y*Z
     ~had forgotten how to gape....

scampering squirrels
forage for little acorns
swallows all fly south

wizened leaves falling
pirouetting down to earth
log burner blazes 

carpet of dead leaves
beautifies the forest floor
biting winds and rain

Little squirrels scampering to hide their nuts,                                               
can I have some for my October pie.
Not on my pie you fly,
go away not on my cold cuts.

I watched a flower closely, 
on a windless day;
startled, when at first 
I saw it sway.
Staring close, 
I watched in disbelief
a ladybug, 
scampering on its leaf.
I realized then, 
that flowers are like we.
they giggle when they’re tickled, 
for all the world to see....

I scamper across moss covered rocks

In just my socks

The clock ticks and tocks

and i find myself along side the locks

Watching boats settle into the docks

and i watch as they snear, because their jocksI 

turn away and head back to my rocks

Listening to the water's ticks and tocks...

of paper unwrapping
that cloud wisp of wisping cloud
that turns to eagle talon
that acrobat plastic bag
flirting with the breeze
scampering ant trying to avoid the falling droplet
curled leaves that adorn
the face of tree forlorn
cursing clouds
as the splinter's emerge
written on back yard step...

A simple rhyme for a very dark time
  The road back, sure, an arduous climb
Tentative steps, cautious probes
  Sporting still protective wardrobes

Yet before long, like forests scorched
  Creature habitats by fire torched
Soon enough we'll be scampering gaily
  Reveling in routines familiar daily...

spring renewal starts
tender shoots warmed by the sun
verdant foliage

wild flowers bloom
pure colours of the rainbow
sweet scents perfume air

birds chirping in trees
insects whirring and buzzing
squirrels scampering

racing with the breeze
strength, streaming supple beauty~
stellar vividness

freewill upon earth
scampering strides of surprise~
cliffside, now silent

majestic splendor
glorious ocean vista~
fierce, sanctity reign...

Stunningly scampering snowy week sailings soar
Kinesthetically hovering more and more 
Incredibly intriguing impressive chill thrills, 
Ineffable curves and crawls betwixt snowy hills
Normal natural, yet, novel navigations 
Gorgeously graceful with groundbreaking gyrations...

A mother overhead,
bearing down
with beacon eyes -
my feet
on her beat.

The park -
overcast.

Hear the beat
of robin feet
on the muddy lawn.

Stranger in park -
no bark of dog
nor scampering squirrel.

Flood
like a murky lake -
the sodden path
is alive 

with my steady
sneakered tromp
   and the allocation 
of worms.
