Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

Nice pic!
Add a white stripe right down the middle, and you have my Jack Russell Terrier, chief foe of the animal smelling the clover while it still can!
And you also have to bend the ears a little so that they fold over frontward a little.
Mary, you have email!
