Berry with me
Green as the spring born. /
Round as the full summer moon. /
Ripen berry soon.

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.

Hanging around
Flowing with the creek /
Gathering along the banks /
The trash never ends.

Decay
Decay touches all /
Arrives with kind indifference /
Grips with gray delight.

A Splash of Green
Flowers collected /
Bundled into a bouquet /
Splashed with green grass pods.

Mind’s eye
Shadows and daylight /
Peonies effuse with white /
Shades of the mind’s eye.

Yearning
Earth’s Moon hanging high /
bright light in the cold night sky /
we, in yearning, try.

Purple Iris
Petals up and down /
Shining in the sun’s pleasure /
Bright beard on curled tongue.

The economy, stupid
Oh, crap, it’s the economy, /
The dinosaur said, ignoring astronomy. /
The big rock blazed through the sky /
Attracted attention as it hurtled by./
It matter little they were in danger /
From this fulsome, rocky, plummeting stranger. /
It’s the economy, again came the cry. /
Nothing else matters, “Even if we die!“ /
It’s wonderful to have and hold your things /
And the temporary joy ownership brings. /
But when you’re dead and in the ground /
The joy of ownership will let you down.
