My Backyard Zoo


 My Backyard Zoo

The neighbor's lawn mower
mocks my yard popping
up with dandelions.


A bunny rabbit hops
and flips over
the clover-bud mat.

She's an acrobat
performing in time
to a mockingbird rapping.

Gracie, the groundhog,
stretches on her back paws,
then dips and  nips


the heads off buttercups.


No need to trim
this wayward wilderness,
the wildlife knows
a better way
to bright my day!

           


I hope my blogger friends are having a happy day filled with sunshine and beautiful flowers.

Love,
Brenda
