the rose bushes have thorns

careful
where you step in this
yard.
the rose bushes have
thorns.
the dog
has been here
and there.
the cat
too.
squirrels and birds,
snakes
and turtles.
that plant
over there might be
poison ivy,
or oak.
i'm not sure, but
be careful
just the same.
the puddles
are deep
and
the gate is splintered
too, so push
lightly when
you leave.
thank you for the visit,
it's been so nice
to see you too.
