Do not donut
Oh, do not donut. /
Sprinkles or plain entice me. /
Homemade make it home.

Tall tale
The gravedigger says, /
As his needling wife’s unearthed, /
“It’s all a big yarn.”

Fall apart
Stand up; fall apart. /
Brain pops out, as does the heart. /
Night comes; we restart.

Small field of Spring blooms /
Purple-yellow Iris smiles /
Catch afternoon dreams.

Photo finish Friday: “Hip-oh”
I don’t know who is showing the most hip, but I can guess who is being the most cheeky in this photo.
Is this a drunken, African version of the Running of the Bulls? The Hightailing Away from the Hippopotamus? Or would that be Hippopotami?
Oh my
the hippopotami
have come to try
and drive me away.
I undressed
to my birthday best
to take my rest
on a hot day.
I did not know
it was no place to go
that I could not show
my full display.
I have caused unrest
put nature to the test
because I undressed
and tried to stay.
One big old brute
did not like my birthday suit
so I gave him the salute
and he huffed my way.
With no pants
I had little chance
to make a stance
or have my say.
I now must leave
but please don’t grieve
and don’t yet believe
I am human filet.

Haiku and photo: “Hope for the creek”
Hope for the creek
The Hail Mary here /
Is neither pass nor prayer /
But hope for the creek.
