‘TWEEN HIGHWAY AND RAMP:
–
Wonders tend to appear,
Wild turkeys or white-tailed deer…
Feeding on grasses
As traffic passes,
Are seasonal visits here!
–
No one I know has disturbed
This haven in the suburbs…
Traffic roar
They’ve heard before,
No reason to be unnerved.
–
Sometimes my hopes advanced,
See a turkey when it’s just a tree branch…
Serendipity
Isn’t scheduled you see,
Be ready–for the world is our ranch!

IN-BETWEEN SNACKS
–
Deer and turkeys gather to snack
In-between the highway and the exit ramp….
Depending on the food source,
In there they will camp….
In-between the highway and the exit ramp!

–Jonathan Caswell
IN THE SUNSET SKY…
–
The height of serendipities,
A hot air balloon above the trees…
Basks in sunset glow,
Pushed by air flow,
Handsome way to take your life in tow!

SERENDIPITOUS MISTAKES
He knew he’d paid a lot,
For the special device he’d got…
When the package came through
There were, in fact, two–
His first thought was…THANKS A LOT!
–
Electrical backup–her chair–
Would work with no power there….
A powered C-PAP
Was now a snap,
The reason of which he’d been unaware.
–
His own sleeping is easier,
His C-PAP won’t stop when it’s breezier….
Enough to bring down
Power poles in town,
With the second back-up–a pleaser!
–Jonathan Caswell
ALL TANKED UP?
Coincidence compares,
Last night raised a few hairs…
On the neck
In my homeward trek,
While breathing those cool night airs.
–
A silvery tanker truck passed,
What I remember last…
Was the sign on the back:
“COFFEE”, in fact,
The driver was driving fast!
–
That night I’d taken pains
Writing about coffee trains…
It seemed to me
Serendipity
To find this tank truck between “drains”.
–
Whether loaded or empty–no clue–
But the driver knew what to do…
Rush the caffeine
Fruit of the bean,
Before supply runs through!
