I see one sparkle of dew on the grass
to greet me. Some say a sign of rain
when no dew shows in the morning.
Yesterday, I was greeted by my trash
scattered in my yard, bags ripped
by a bear who turned my garbage can
over. What is the adage for that?
A roaming bear visits to leave its
roaming spirit. Beware?
An adage is reverse language
engineering, not necessarily
created from conclusive facts
but enough similar occurrences
to generate some logic to fit
a pithy saying to sounding as
if spoken by one with authority
the empty echo not recognized.
The single blade of grass still
holds the dew drop. There is
no garbage in the yard
though I can’t deny the echo
of a growl I think is mine.
-Byron Hoot
