Frogs
We approach the pond
Leaving our shoes
In the wet grass
The frogs jump
In a chain reaction
The closest ones first
The sound of little splashes
Then we settle
Watching them slowly return
The mirror to the water
Cherry tomatoes
On the deck
Tomato vines wander
Cherry tomatoes
Red as lipstick
Hang in a cluster
Behind the railing
Right where we
(And even the chipmunk)
Failed to spot them
Until I happened to be
Looking out the living room window
Dancing to Smokey Robinson
Estate Sale
I
We pass an estate sale
And pull over
In the shade of a few maples
3, 4 and 5 dollar tables
The books are 50 cents
Spread out on a blanket.
