Double Take

4by3grass

There are blonde little ponies

Out here everywhere;

They race with the wind,

And it tousles their hair.

But look a bit closer–

You’ll find, as you pass,

The blonde little ponies

Have turned into grass.

final sun

the days are too long

the afternoons are too hot

a star is too close

Shot of the Day

final pit

This is the St. James mine pit, now filled with water so clear, you can drink it right out of the pit. In fact, that’s where our city water comes from. Makes great coffee. The water is a beautiful green-blue because it’s almost 500 feet deep.

Limerick 21

finasqu

A neighborhood squirrel named Jack

Does a dance in the street for a snack

And when people ask why,

All we say in reply

Is an acorn’s a tough nut to crack.

coming storm

final storm

the coming storm

obscures the light

of lifted lamp

and golden door;

without our beacon

burning bright,

our land grows dark

from shore to shore.

haiku 68

final brook

the babbling brook can’t

help but spill its secrets to

the whispering wind

tanka: greater weave

finalweb

the spider seems to

design his beguiling web–

quite an illusion!

he who designs the spider

certainly designs the web
