Possum
One winter’s night /
a dish rattles; a possum /
scavenges cat food.

Raspberries
Collected at dusk, /
raspberries in an old cap, /
makeshift evening food.

Longing
Sitting on a branch, /
the fat Robin of morning, /
longing for cat food.

Filter
I am a filter: /
fine drink, best food, newest things. /
Through me, these, too, shall pass.

Dinner and show
Snacks tasted first rate. /
Floor show played out second rate. /
Raccoon stayed anyway.

Good eats
Thanks for the big eats. /
I lick my face to finish. /
Better than a bird.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Spent the evening in camarad.
Eating birdseed,
Fists full of greed,
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude,
In raccoon fur they trod.
Into the night
They ate with delight,
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Three raccoons in a pod.
Three peas after food,
Including suet crude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Were too inland to find scrod.
Eventually they left.
When a boom with some heft
Shooed on Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Socked feet
Both full and thankful, /
Kindness has many flavors /
Carried on socked feet.
