Hope for the creek
The Hail Mary here /
Is neither pass nor prayer /
But hope for the creek.

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

Haiku and photo: “Water flower”
Water flower
White Iris petals /
Folded by the falling Spring /
Rise to catch the rain.

Photo and haiku: “Lacewing”
Lacewing
Translucent lacewing, /
Benefits not from the sun. /
Four weeks, a pale life.

Poem and illustration: “It’s the economy, stupid”
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.

Haiku and photo: “Recycling”
Recycling
Flames bloom like wildflowers /
Neighbors sprout masks, recycle air. /
Toxic smoke rains down.

Gathering objects /
Scattered and forgotten /
Spring and beauty found.

Photo finish Friday: “Annual physical”
Annual physical
I did five holes-in, /
pokes-in, turned my arms about. /
Blood hard to get out.

Temple
I am a temple /
Crumbling and ancient curses /
Food-haunted body.
