“Bending”

Bending

Bending the daylight, /

Shaping the shadows, the bridge /

Spans more than water.

“Faces”

Faces

At the wishing well, /

She made faces, not wishes /

And then they came true.

Sere

Tithonia behold: /

Brown grass crunches with each step. /

Summer’s sere whisper.

The journey

Into the wide world, /

One step begins the unknown /

One heart brings new love.

Asters yellow

Asters yellow blooms. /

A virus on corn flowers. /

No vaccine or masks.

Rest

Rest upon the sun. /

Bee nestled into flower. /

Days work is now done.

Back down

Back down to the floor. /

Heart upward toward the ceiling. /

Belly scratch ready.

“The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.

“Window flower”

Window flower

Peeking through the glass, /

Orchid searches for the sun, /

seeking assurance.

“Chocolate”

Chocolate

At the finish line /

There should be brownies. Always. /

Angels aren’t enough.
