GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

The great green lady watched over a verdant oasis guarded by emerald waterfowl.

She jumped on a boulder.
He pointed at his sister.
“Statue of Liberty!”
She foisted an invisible torch.

He played by himself,
She made a new friend .
Vicky was her name,
He didn’t want to leave the park.

We fed birds at the pond,
The geese are big and slow,
Small ducks darted for the crumbs.
We escaped the descending onslaught of pigeons.

Our world opens up,
Our time grows shorter,
Crossing the river,
A fox wets her tail.
