brown bats feast on unseen meals
birds roost in dark trees

unseen mourning dove
sings haunting lonely ballad
taints summer morning

wriggling prize caught, robins flee
escape into trees

young sparrows practice
garden fence to azalea
testing young weak wings

smart enough to flee the scene
eating newborn pears

seeking swimming hole
mallard and her brood visit
summer brook is dry

old bird delivers
fat worms to young in high nest
only until fall

first August morning
sparrows hop on dry, crisp grass
search for seeds, insects
