Garden

Garden objet d’art /

Among the flowers of Spring /

Man’s discards reborn.

To your regularly scheduled lies. /

The stupid returns.

Sharing

One squirrel in the ring. /

Another squirrel waits and wants. /

Sunlight and bird seed.

Photo finish Friday: “Ant Nebula”

It’s no picnic in the Ant Nebula! About 3,000 light years from Earth, this Sun-like star is in the late stages of life.

Spring

Spring begins gray, /

Bleary eyes crusted with tears, /

Yawning into sun.

Bare limbs full of gray.

Photo finish Friday (and poem): “All is calm — maybe”

All is calm, all is bright. /
Tree is up and full of light. /
Blinded my neighbor across the street. /
His retinas are fried like old, dried meat. /
Santa, come and visit me soon. /
This tree’s so bright, it’s an envy of the moon. /
I’ve been good, the best I’ve been yet. /
I only have one or two things I regret. /
The body in the basement, well that doesn’t count. /
She ticked me off with her bouncy flounce. /
And that man in the meat locker, he was frigid to me. /
Said I had COVID. Now how can that be? /
No, Santa, I have been very very good. /
My tree is bright. My wants be as they should. /
All is calm, all is bright /
Unless you pass me by on this special night.
