Peeking through the glass, /
Orchard searches for the sun, /
seeking assurance.

Shapes
The shapes of nature, /
from spring flowers to raindrops, /
turn time into life.

There once was a writer from Nantucket/
Who stuffed her writing wish list bucket. /
Crammed with crumpled notes /
Stuffed until it bloats /
Each list a rewrite ending in “F6$k it!”

Free floating radicals
The clock floated free; /
the jack, the pawn, and the car /
left their roles behind.

Your adventure
Live your adventure. /
If it exceeds your limits /
Grow within it.

Broken
Broken tree shades /
broken lives laid in graves, their /
names in stone and wind.

Ditty
Oh, my Ditty do /
Unincorporated you /
Passing right on through.

New hope
Yesteryear or now /
Wind driven or motorized /
Welcome to your home.

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.
