Edward J. Dunn

I know a bald man who doesn't care.
That people like to look up and stare.
Where did it all go?
They would like to know.
It is something he has learned to bare.

The warm sun
Winter's done
Nature's pace
God's grace
Spring and summer
Lots of color
New leaves
Short sleeves
Green lawn
Doe and fawn
Wiener roast
Drive a post
Cut grass
Throw a pass
Garden hose
Pretty rose
Campfire
Perspire
Skip a rock
View a hawk
Hide and seek
Play in creek
Flip flops
Rain drops
Shoot a gun
Go for a run
Swat a fly
Gnat in eye
Drink tea
Climb a tree
Blooming plants
Dog pants
Gentle breeze
A big sneeze
Wasp and bees
Ticks and fleas
Clothesline
Baler twine
Watermelon
Kids a yellin'
Porch swing
Kite string
Read a book
Bait a hook
Ride a bike
Take a hike
Garden tiller
Caterpillar
Grilled steaks
A few snakes
Dry hot days
Fog and haze
Swimming hole
Fishing pole
Cobwebs
Chicken eggs
Breathe the air
Say a prayer
Read the Word
Thank the Lord

Melting mountain snow
Runs away and waters much
Elk, trees, towns and such

There is nowhere I'd rather be
Than here, underneath this tree.
The moon high above to see,
A campfire just out in front of me.

Whispers in the wind are heard all around.
Trills, chirps, croaks and a bark abound.
A distant car on gravel makes a new sound.
An acorn falls through the leaves and hits the ground.

The air has cooled to my delight.
A touch of fall is felt tonight.
Summer's grip is not as tight.
The season will change without much fight.

A cloud has covered the moon in the sky.
The fire has dwindled and about to die.
Knowing I have to get up, I let out a sigh.
It was great to be out here for this guy.

The mountains are full of glory,
such a beautiful, rugged territory.

Snow that caps the highest peaks
eventually melts, creating swift creeks.

Spruce, cottonwood, aspen and pine
all grow below the mountains' tree line.

Bear, mountain lion and sheep traces
can be found on various mountain places.

Meadows of wildflowers and grasses
can have elk and deer by the masses.

The jagged ridges' rock formations
produce intriguing color combinations.

The views are so picturesque and grand;
it's well worth a visit to this mountain land.
