I sat and watched
you watched and sat
a poem was hatched
and that was that
Stigma Attached and Horm Humor Hatched
When constructed roof appeared to be thatched,
And to it would see some sticky stigma attached;
First had to lunge,
Then into pool plunge;
Having happened after Horn Humor was hatched.
Jim Horn
newly hatched robins
announcing sun's up
outside my window

He laid nest by his pillow near head...and woke 'neath a mantis bedspread!

In the beginning we are hatched
Then we're crumpled, somehow patched
Thus crippled, to the world dispatched
To live and die a life mismatched.
