South Texas Snow

Wild Spanish Olive
Mexican “Nacaguita”
White “South Texas Snow”
God’s gifts of life and beauty
Here in Martha’s garden grow

Hungry Mourning Doves
On Papa Chuy’s side walk
A meal to count on
In Winter when food is scarce
And the North Wind blows so cold

Graceful and pious
Beautiful Tangerine Rose
Elegant Lady
Patiently waiting for dawn
Confident in her repose

Fibonacci disk
Logarithmic sequence
Golden spiral – wound
Lovely Daisy unaware—
of it’s perfect symmetry

What shall I feed you?

Little Baby Mocking Bird

Fallen from your nest
Mama’s gone and left you here
Days before you learn to fly

I’m almost ready

To face the world and bloom

One final deep breath

Before I open my Eyes,

Heart and Soul – to what awaits!

Look at the Anole!
Green now! Later he’ll be Brown!
Soon you won’t see him
Because he will have moved on-
Different place: different color!

Green Pickeral Frog
Stealthily laying-in-wait
For afternoon snacks
Ants, spiders, beetles and flies
Drawn to the stream for a drink
