Taste
Taste grows from the soil /
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, then fruits. /
Seeds become flavors.

Fairy house
Shells of the ocean /
formed as a house for fairies /
Young hands mold magic.

Haiku and photo: “The street”
The street
Red lights strip the dark /
Sirens usurp the silence /
Need consumes the street.

Socked feet
Both full and thankful, /
Kindness has many flavors /
Carried on socked feet.

Poem and photo: “Death becomes you”
Death becomes you
Death becomes you, my dear.
Let me hold your hand so our selfie is clear.
Get my bare bones, they show me the best.
All that flesh and muscle — begone all the rest.
I’ll wear my cap. You wear your smile.
Don’t worry about missing teeth. It’s been a while.

Harvest
Sweet yellow orbs fill /
Harvest of early autumn /
Fiery red sticks, too.

Desiccation Hope
Desiccated leaves /
Fall murmurs through the breezes /
Hope, too, rides the air.

Spring flower, fall rain. /

Silly Saturday: “Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse”
Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse
It’s the Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse.
Death in their DNA got the slip.
Now they roam the countryside.
Wild, winged, and bent on genocide.
Beware! should you cross their path.
They travel in herds and will attack.
Munch and crunch and chew to the ground
all flora and fauna and toes that can be found.
There is but one way to tame these bunnies.
That is to roll them over and rub their tummies.
But you might not be able to get that near,
at least not until you’ve have a couple of beers.
These bunnies are fierce in their apocalyptic way,
but belly rubs and carrots could save the day.

Saturday silliness: “Corg”
Corg
I am the Corgi. /
Resistance is but futile. /
Scratch me now, human.
