The Newcomers

two inky crows touch
down to plunder goobers from
under squirrel’s nose

Hunter-Gatherers

Three squirrels sunder
Nuts in my yard; a cat spies
From under cedars.

New Tricks

Legumes on the fence
all in a row. This Fall day,
Jays are casting runes.

Har-binger!

Bluejay’s clothesline-squeak
Proclaims him, ere he sneaks that
First cheeky peanut.
