Sunshine sparkles
on dewy petals of
the Knockout rose bush.
A furry brown chipmunk
nibbles his breakfast
on the bird feeder.
Everything may not be
all right with the world,
but some things are!

This poem feels like a haiku. Brief, but says a lot.

Watching the birds in my back yard makes even the most complicated day less difficult!

Merle, your poem inspires me to pay attention to the movements in nature and the beauty near my own front door. Poets do that! Good to see you!!!
