a cotton lined path
leading into paradise
for nature and soul

three fuzzy goslings
huey helicopter lands
papa goose hisses

still and silent frogs
pose for their summer portrait
dragonfly anxious

93 degrees
frolicking, mating cowbirds
ravens try to cool

turtle on a log
dragonfly wings to hold still
defying the wind

furtive goose glances
at dragonfly mating dance
flower sways in breeze

turtle need not fear
robin guard your nest, COWBIRD!
deny squatter's rights!

prose writing goose quill
nature's purple prose of soul
a cotton lined path

finis
