poem of the day September 2 

The freshly

mowed meadow

was very full

of wild turkey and

whitetail deer

So many of them

it seemed to me like

an animal convention

The birds and mammals

were mingled together

in the dawn morning light

standing side by side 

as if they were biding time

in a strange animal harmony

It made me wonder

if they were waiting

for some buffalo & antelope

to show up and play
