Wild Friends

Wild Friends

 

come in floral varieties

 

this one is a prickly cactus

with a beautiful flower

 

that starts out

green and curled

 

and then later

collects the rain drops

 

feral cats 

once seemed to outnumber

the human population

in Hanalei

 

but this friend

with one fawn leg

one black leg

was domesticated

and in need of company

 

and this cocky fellow

had no fear of me

and walked up to my feet

 

the grass surrounding 

the local coffee shops 

and eateries

is frequented by many 

friendly families of cardinals

and the occasional

very proud rooster

Fine wild friends
