Rings
Onion rings. /
Saturn’s rings. /
Take a bite or two. /
Ice cream cone /
Hanging all alone /
Up there in the blue. /
It’s called Freezo /
But what do we know, /
Except the old is new. /
Stand in line /
Like stars aligned /
Order from the menu.
Pick a treat /
Order complete /
Get some ketchup, too. /
Food in a bag /
Heavy it may sag, /
Until you eat it through.

Decay
Decay touches all /
Arrives with kind indifference /
Grips with gray delight.

A Splash of Green
Flowers collected /
Bundled into a bouquet /
Splashed with green grass pods.

Road
Adventure begins /
with an open heart and a /
mind light as a cloud.

Anger is a stone /
clattering for attention, /
never finishing.

Perplexed
My dentist perplexed. /
Been chewing on your fingers? /
One cavity found.

Donut Do not
Raccoon’s arrival. /
Donut know he’s being watched. /
Sweet Spring on a string.

First Blueberries
First blueberries ripen./
Expectations of the Spring. /
Promises of delight.

Love
Is love hard as stone /
or supple as a paint stroke? /
Does it grind or flow?

Mind’s eye
Shadows and daylight /
Peonies effuse with white /
Shades of the mind’s eye.
