I sing the praises
 
of autumn birds that visit
 
my seedy garden.

 
 
 

Pandemic lockdown—
 
sunlight sneaks through the window
 
for a quick visit.

 
 
 

On a warm spring day
 
a crow visits my fountain,
 
dips his beak, and drinks.

 

Pesky

 
 
 

Pesky mosquito,
 
why do you come to my yard?
 
Visit the neighbor!
