Thank you, Annie.

I hope you didn’t mind the two poems I put in the reply thread of your very first post on your brand new blog. As a Pantheist ‘Nature’ poet, your site is right up my alley and I just couldn’t resist. I am proud to have been among your very first respondents. Best wishes for your success.

Yay, Gary, thank you! What a beautiful invocation of these creatures; it feels like a true blessing on my new blog.

Magick

A tree snake climbed right up the front porch steps,
poked her head up over the edge and looked around,
her long thin body stretching down the stairs
like a luminescent green rope.

Tree frog came from nowhere, plopped right down
on the back porch. Cats perked up their ears and looked.
Frog hopped into the wisteria vine and disappeared.

Black butterfly appears, then gone. Then a yellow one.
A dragonfly. Visible a moment, then gone away.
Bright red cardinal here, on the tree, then there,
on the fence. Then nowhere. Gone. A magical day.

I gently lifted the snake and carried her over to the
green Yaupon thicket. She slipped onto a leafy branch
and vanished in thin air.
