Contentment

Morning-lit spider webs
waving in the breeze
backlit gnats 
hover like 
ghosts.

Mulberry trees rustle
squirrels scrabble
foraging 
for last
fruits.

Dewdrops on jewelweed
glinting at sunrise
water-soaked bumblebees
sip from orange
trumpets.

Ground crickets tinkling song
droning cicadas
as backdrop
I wrap my arms
around this moment.

    1. Actually, your comment caused me to check on the website of a publisher of lovely small books who had seemed to have gone out of business. But now I find they seem to be back at publishing and open to submissions...So, who knows? Thank you for the nudge!
