Crazy Garfield

Garfield was with Jon,                                                              
sitting on the lawn.                                   

Suggestive Behaviour

Attended a garden party
full of fun
from dusk 'til dawn
filled with laughter
next door on the lawn
awoke the morning after
the night before
arose to wash
my hands and face
packed my bag
just in case
all was quiet
around the house
nothing heard
not even the spouse
what now where next
who really knows
always the eternal question
allow me now to propose
I'm open to suggestion

Clippings

a freshly mown lawn
     the clippings become new mulch
          the grass will thrive now

drone of a lawn mower

lawn mower drone cuts the silence in half
I can pretend not to hear it
or pretend I like it
I pretend it is a wishing machine
granting wishes all along the road
and I am the next house

lawn mower is all he has

lawn mower is all he has
we hear it roaring twelve hours a day
he is a seventy-year-old epileptic man
it is all he can drive
I am grateful he has this

Lawn Care

The sun is high in the summer sky
And no clouds to be seen
The grass is high neath the summer sky
And growing tall and green
The mower starts with growling roar
And cuts through swaths of fescue
This mowing proves a sweaty chore
And soon I beg for rescue
My lawn’s expanse appears to grow
The longer that I labor
Seems to expand

Ryan Trip takes a Trip on a Lawn Mower

in the summer of 1997
Twelve year old Ryan Tripp made a 3, 366 mile journey
across the USA raising ten thousand and four hundred dollars
for a sick baby living in his home town.
He took this trip on a twenty-five horse power mower
from Salt Lake City, Utah to Washington, D.C.
He was followed by his adoring parents and

Lawn Mowing Wars

The thick numerous shoots of grass have come out,
no more snow shovels til late autumn comes about.
I hear the robins chirp as they tend their nests,
wait....the sound of a cranky lawn mower chugging
to life from its winter's rest!
Quickly, dear, go out and mow before everyone else
does!
our yard needs to look perfect, 'cuz-
the neighborhood spring lawn

Lawn

Eyes in the sky
looking down
mere mortals
cutting the lawn,
there is no mercy
for a little clown
what am I doing here?
this is not my town.

frozen lawn

snow-carpeted lawn
welcomes poinsettias to dance...
pine trees strive to sway

My Lawn

My Lawn

My lawn is my garden it’s weeds you see.
In times of famine, it is food for me.
Grass may be pretty, so shiny and nice.
But it is only food to grubs and mice.

Lawn Tableau

Home lawn is well-set!
Wow! Furniture fret...!
Green carpet velvet!
None around seen, yet!
Not even a pet,
Are all under threat...???

Lawn-A-Ments

I see fewer Gnomes
A variety of “flags”
Signs and placards
Letting me know
“whose lives matter”
There are a lot of “bunnies”
As they offend no one
My “lawn” has not seen fertilizer
In thirty years
It resembles a wild maned lion
The last “Madonna of the bath tub” shrine
Was removed by the new owners.
There are “cardboard” coyote’s
To keep the Geese and Turkeys away

Should See Me Cut My Lawn

Woke is becoming a big issue.
Check this out. Your yard looks
great as usual. Wish that we had
all of your energy.

How about writing a song

Should see me cut my lawn
Until it all has gone;
Then flowers plant in place
With my style and grace.

Must see my grass so green
Creates such a pretty scene
All the bad grass have killed
Which

The Pups and I Go Walking

** The Pupu and I Go Walking **

Under a slice of melon-orange moon, 
We’re off to walk (the pups and I)…
Far along for long,
‘Til our energy has gone..

We totter over to the nearest lawn
And lie down there to sleep.
The grass is so cold, so wet with dew
We’ve gone off only for a walk, but died,
