SHORT POEMS

NOT TITLED

lake effect snowstorm
bold woodpecker fights strong wind
working on suet

like the woodpecker
we fight Satan's deadly work
unnoticed - unseen

robins appear cold
hopping the frost covered yard
earning what they find

shivering puppies
found a garage and warm milk
in the winter's dark

the moonlit snowfield
reveals white tail deer eating
still standing corn stalk

tall pine trees shadow
fox walking through drifting snow ...
wild wind whirls his coat

gloomy is shading
a vacant and vaulted sky...
air is void of light

a brown-headed gull
scanning the glassy lake...
dipping to catch lunch

illuminating
vague figures move a shadow...
deer herding the field

the eagle swoops low
the crows scatter into the trees ...
he spirals upward

hanging and pecking
a berry block of suet ...
downy woodpecker
