set treetops a~twittering
praise their Creator
a~waken, you sleepyheads
greet with joy a~rising sun!

my momma, she try to warn me
“he’s trouble…jus’ like yer old man
find sumpthin’ better… if ya can.”
course, i didn’t listen to her plea;
Clyde winked as i sat on his knee
he taught me how to aim a gun,
showed me armed robbery be fun!
terrorized those folks in Texas
FBI came lookin’ for us
cops ambushed car, our daze was done.

Lily
miss my furry friend;
so many peaceful rabbits
…reminders of her
we watch them nibble clover
growing fat, no need to run

Taste this fog,
stir like pea soup;
thick, steamy, heady
moist air presses.
Watercolor of wet
still-life landscape,
paint no background;
grey droplets spatter.
Pickup headlights
float, pierce the misty
curtain as eery shapes
of cow ghosts appear.

Our local library is hosting a book spine poem contest for National Library Week…
Doc,
it was me all along,
ready to fall
into the nevernight;
the cry of the dove
waking the dead,
honest pretzels!

if dust were diamonds,
asphalt was gold, and
trees’ leaves paper money,
we’d sneeze on greed
drive over wealth, con~
sider banks quite funny!
fantastical, our discontent would blow away with wind~
Linking to dVerse Poetics with Lillian on “fantasy” theme…
