Tell-tail tracks: MOUSE

I'm Mouse on a winter's eve.
Tiny bursts of energy vault me one leap after another through the powdery snow.
My tail leaves a line that threads my efforts together.
I work my way back home.
I burrow down into my nest in the soft, fallen tree limb.
Content with my small seed dinner, I am glad
Tonight, no owl shadow crossed my path.

Shakespeare this year

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I celebrated with completing an illustration for the Riverside Theatre's Shakespeare Festival poster. It involves an animal audience overlooking the lovely outdoor theatre we have here in Iowa City. Riverside is doing Romeo and Juliet and Love's Labour's Lost this year. I'll post the final poster when they're done.
