Summer’s Best Friend

take shelter
in the sweet shade
of the dear old tree

Shelter In The Storm

small space
large enough
for refuge

The Privileged

we watch
winter’s demanding dramatics
from inside our warm havens

Haven

shelter in the rhododendron
waiting out winter
alongside flower buds

With

the better shelter
from the storm
is found with others

Retreat

cool earth dust baths
in the shelter of shade
chickens get-a-way

In the Shelter Of A Tree

eavesdropping
on the conversation
between the water and the rain
