youthful buds whisper

tiny voices animate

stolen secrets weave

does, calves leaping

jesting with siblings

grassland tickles bare

shoulder, he is smitten

giggles come softly

fledgling’s plump lips

quiver as butterfly kisses

on soft velvety cheeks

elicit joyous moans

amidst tears, she utters

love you, my cherished

red-headed woodpecker

plays a jazzy drum beat

on the sliver haired

bald cypress with old knees

gray birds drop like

popcorn from small tree

newly-weds watch sunset

newborn wrens create

supper time sounds

sunsetting streaks sky

gold, yellow, and ginger

in God’s watchful eye
