Beware of a Witchs Razorbacks
...Hodgepodge of high-brow, hoity-toity happy hogs
Happened upon a wagonload of St Bernard dogs
In a hocus-pocus way they turned them into logs
You do not fool with a witch’s razorbacks in these bogs...

The soil, the summer rain,

The fields of golden grain
I thank the corn crops

The Death of Winter
...The cold has fled this place, and wrapped in light
The world is once again so warm and bright.
The sky is blue and shattered are the walls
That kept the sun outside those wintry halls.

Life Is a Poem
...I’ve heard it said that poetry is dead
But I don’t believe that’s true.
It runs in our veins like water to rain
Somewhere inside me and you.

Scars on her skin
Carrying wounds engraved
Curse devious grin
And snakes she once craved
She sucked and...

embrace a ripened red motif,
