My final instalment from Reflections contains four short poems which were inspired by simple observations.
The Exterminator
The exterminator
Sprays the house
The critters move
Next door
Tomorrow
Sprays next door
The critters return
Once more
We do our best
To rid the pest
It’s useless let’s
Keep them as pets
Bird
Beautiful bird
So proud
Showing off
Bright yellow breast
As you walk by me
Oblivious to all reason
Street Sweeper
The street sweeper
Sucking up garbage
Blowing out dust
Cleaning the street
Polluting the air
We breathe
As we pass by
Lord of the Sky
Flying so freely A flower
Against the sky
Petals outspread
Soaring around
The mountain tops

I like how you capture these simple moments in life that we usually experience and then forget. I’m also reminded that I sure am glad I don’t have to deal with cockroaches and termites anymore, after moving back to New England from the South.
