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!”

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

Broken
Broken tree shades /
broken lives laid in graves, their /

Poem and photo: “First draft”
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.
