Highland Park

The deer emerge from the woods only for
A second before a car passes, scaring them back.
A raccoon tries to squeeze into the sewer, 
his eyes highlighted by a dark mask.
The silver maple towers over the house,
Providing a canopy, that will soon be lost in fall. 
Squirrel's hidden homes become public, as animals 
Begin to settle in for a winter that could spring at any time.
On the edge of St. Paul, Highland is my home.

  1. Nice work. I really like the part about the Silver Maple - I think you do a really good job describing how it will change with the seasons.
