“The park”

The Park

Spring strolls through the park. /

Shaking green from her sleeves and /

Color from her eyes.

The things Spring brings

In the Neighborhood

Spring brings many things:
Alarm sales and fresh-meat men peddling,
Spores flowing as if there will be no more,
Ice cream from a truck whose music rings
As if the end of days will wend
Up and down the streets
Maniacal notes vibrating from the new leaves and petals
As the sun runs undone —
A child on a bike just pedaling to have fun.

–David E. Booker

Found story: Santa takes on extra work

Santa hit man bounty hunter

Santa hit man bounty hunter

Finding work in the off season hard to come by, Santa takes a job as a bounty hunter and hit man. Using his naughty list, he tracks down the not-so-nice folks and brings them to justice or brings them down.
