UNDER THE ORANGE UMBRELLA
Under the orange
umbrella
with busy squirrels
and tired bees
there is shelter
still.
Wispy white clouds
floating by like
creamsicles
mixing with the
orange
a sweet treat for the
bees.
The squirrels stash
their nuts
and cats wait to
pounce
on songbirds
devouring seeds
happy in the fleeting
remnants
their home now flying
piece by piece
into the wind.
Under the orange umbrella. |
