Broken
Broken tree shades /
broken lives laid in graves, their /
names in stone and wind.

Poem and photo: “First draft”
First draft
“Guess what?”
“Chicken butt.”
He fell over into the rut.
“How high?”
“A baby’s cry?”
He gave me the quizzical eye.
“Knock. Knock.”
“You’re a smelly old sock.”
He looked at me like my head’s down the block.
“Bye bye.”
“Here’s mud in your eye.”
He shook his head and tried to fly.

Photo finish Friday: “Hanging around”
Hanging around
Flowing with the creek /
Gathering along the banks /
The trash never ends.

Rest in my window. /

Poem and photo: “Rings”
Rings
Onion rings. /
Saturn’s rings. /
Take a bite or two. /
Ice cream cone /
Hanging all alone /
Up there in the blue. /
It’s called Freezo /
But what do we know, /
Except the old is new. /
Stand in line /
Like stars aligned /
Order from the menu.
Pick a treat /
Order complete /
Get some ketchup, too. /
Food in a bag /
Heavy it may sag, /
Until you eat it through.

Haiku and photo: “Decay”
Decay
Decay touches all /
Arrives with kind indifference /
Grips with gray delight.
