In empty spots I
planted sunflowers
their faces will bring
vigor to vegetables
birds to their bugs
grins to our guests

Climate Change
some said too late
so concentrate on now
they named as fools
a few who brewed hope
and drove as fast as they could
into the sunset

The Highest Bidders
Five couples who won
battered spouse auction
gathered in the woods
to taste old bourbons
and dine on wild game
for starters they tried
turkey, dove, pigeon
poppers, grouse pate,
obstetrician stut-
stuttered g-g-girl,
o-oops, n-n-no
a b-boy, ahoy
smoked trout dip, curried
bear meatballs, sausage
bits of cured bambi
five-year old watched new
mom puke in bathroom,
hands on hips, we're not
pregnant again, eh?
coconut quail soup
hare cacciatore
marinated bear
soy deer tenderloin
in old school barracks
big college bully
swashbuckled loser
roommate testified
road asparagus
cheesy polenta
walnut sugar crisps
wineberry pastry
bye blackberry pie
then the bidding stopped
with fireworks capping
a wild night dining

Too Much at Once
so much for
gentle rain
we awoke
water-bound
yard a pond
even the
onion sets
had wet feet

Sleeping on a Porch
two getting oldsters
in a trundle bed
listen to noisy
neighbors playing wings
on legs, mating calls,
cat whines, bleats of lambs,
creek running nonstop,
not quiet, though peaceful

Road/Trail Sounds
ear
alert
ambulance singing
like a giant pileated
woodpecker swoops
across my running path
squirrel steps big
through last fall's leaves,
whoop, whoop, big red
bird, no bear or coyote

Border Control
Stretched wires today
bracing for a fence
sprouts may wonder
what the posts are for
soon they may feel
safe,
or boxed in

Trespassing
this morning
something RED
drew my eye
a strange tent
i pictured
trash and turds
landowner's
evil thoughts
inspection
spotted an
ALL-TERRAIN
VEHICLE
stashed behind
our boat deck
hid 'em both
and waited
think he might
ask next time

Waistline
I've been mulching
and munching, can't stop
each one seems to
cancel out the other
except when it rains
I run and munch.
