Wood-chopping Sonnet
Grab up some pine I cut up last weekend,
back creaks as I put it up on the block,
splitting maul flashes, in an arc descends,
sinks deep in the wood with a meaty THWOCK.
Logs splinter off, tumble across brown grass,
coated in saw-dust from the chainsaw's blade,
small bits for kindling, they catch flame fast,
mix with bacon grease, fire-starters

Chopping Board
The chopping board gets cut upon every night and day
It doesn't moan or say whose wrong or right it's
Just chopping boards way
Sitting in the corner silent waiting to be used

Chopping wood sounds like shots - gunshots.

My hands are startlingly warm.
A sense of well-being surrounds me.
A pink aura has me in her grasp.
The wood chopping sound gets my attention for a second.
Chop. Chop. Chop.
I look up

Chopping Some Ice
I had to chop some ice today
To free my snow-blocked car.
The sun was my assistant,
Helping soften from afar.
I borrowed from the handyman
A strong long-handled tool,
Which worked better than a shovel
And was really kinda cool.
It’s a gratifying feeling
To accomplish what you must
For when taking care of business,
Stress and worry bite the dust.
