All is Right with the World

by David Puckett

Leonette showed me a tiny tree frog (Pacific Chorus)

sitting motionless on a honeysuckle leaf.

We have four hanging baskets, there is a tree frog in each one.

The stock market is plunging, the US credit rating is all to shit.

A few years ago we found a frog in the Sweet Alyssum basket and we

were sure it got in by mistake so we “rescued” it.

Next day, it was back or another just like it. 

A mini micro climate getting rain twice daily.

From a watering can.

In the evening a bat flits around the backyard and comes within a few

feet of our peering faces. 

A nighthawk peents in a twilit sky across a brilliant waxing moon.

London is rioting, gold is $1740 an ounce.

   ps.  I have a brother, my middle one, who writes poems from time to time and he as agreed to let me share some of them.   I jumped at the chance before he changed his mind.  He and his wife Leonette, live in Oregon.
