The Evening Garden

Most people like

the sunshine day garden

but nighttime brings new

dimensions and discoveries

A squawking crow in the palm

a hummer on the power pole

Who came down to see me

on my bench

3 sparrows on a wooden wall

My Ms Skye in her den

with gramma’s brown towels

The sun was sneaking down

behind my garage

The mourning dove

flew over my head

landed on the wall and

stopped down to the grass

The dog watched

The clouds were whipping up

a breeze around my face

The pinwheels and sunflowers

moved when they were

interested in showing off

The milkweed

was asleep in the dirt and

they were secretly

waiting to pop up
