No
I don’t know
What the currently
Most popular talking head
Said on his or her show
Last evening

Outside
Two robins are patrolling
The late spring lawn
For worms or any form
Of nourishment because
They are hungry

I have no interest
In the latest fashions
There are white clouds
Now slowly crossing
A pale blue sky
Like great ships
Going out to sea

Yesterday
On North Bay Road
I drove beneath deep green
Stands of old oak trees
Beyond which yellow sunlight
Showed brightly on open fields

Time flows
I can feel the passing
Of the hours slipping away
Into where I may never again
Even in memory be able to find them

And this morning
I took back two bad books
Because much like you
They’re not worth reading

Whew!  I could relate to all of this bar the last stanza - and what a bite that last stanza had - like a gunshot from a sniper that seemed to me to be coming out of nowhere - well, I suppose that's what snipers do!  I enjoyed the basking in nature.

WOW! I had the same feeling at the end as Owl did,though I can not express it as well as she did. I read all you write,just not enough time to post to everything. So I thank you for all you share now.
