playing soccer, my big dog
kicks a cricket through
the kitchen chair legs

drought
has drained the pond–
herons have ankles?

pour me some more wine
I need to get this damn
mosquito drunk

This was just great…I laughed so hard when I read the last line…I think my neighbors have called the police.

  Yes, they do. However, it appears they wouldn’t do for ice skating.

I love this, especially the query about herons ankles… d’you know, I’ve never ever thought about herons ankles.
