Against the Sunset Sky
It takes a keen eye to spy my quirky neighbors. You may think I refer to the resident pack, Furry family friends that illicit such laughter, But no, they have not this knack. One may decide to see a bird darting about Between the treetops during a summer’s sunset, As I have done at …
