On Halloween night
 
little tricksters roam the streets
 
begging for sweet treats.

 
 
 

On my outstretched hand
 
a little brown sparrow lands—
 
sunflower-seed treats.

 
 
 

summer morning treat—
 
red cherries from a white bowl
 
to nibble with tea

 
 
 

fragrant cups of tea
 
with scones fresh from the oven—
 
winter morning treats

 
 
 

Morning by morning
 
four crows alight on my fence
 
for their dog-food treats.

 
 
 

Labor Day morning—
 
four crows alight on my fence
 
for a dog-food treat.
