the earth is scorched by
disease but rain will fall on
many of the few
nature is on edge
weather patterns are changing
more signs of the times
a word in prayer
may not be for today but
its own day will come
Adjusting to Life's Changes with Hope… Through Poetry, Haiku, and Commentary
the earth is scorched by
disease but rain will fall on
many of the few
nature is on edge
weather patterns are changing
more signs of the times
a word in prayer
may not be for today but
its own day will come
a spider cast its web from
the tree like a net floating
on the air
it stuck to the fence
some on the pole and
some on the shed
a single strand seemed to
rappel silently from the
fence to the ground
the two sisters bonded
through singing inside
unaware that the spider
was climbing back up to
fence singing of triumph
a familiar spider song
outside is quiet
no birds nothing is moving
the storm is coming
I was going to
say it’s too hot for squirrels
one stands munch stop stare
grass is high heat is
high the neighbor waved too far
away to say hi
