Things That Get My Goat
Everyone has a story,
of their favorite things to tell.
Nobody likes to talk about,

So here are a few of the things ,
that really get me pissed.

Surbuban Magic
Placed strategically close
to suburban hedgerows,
elderly backyard mavens
nourish generations of groundhogs.
Daily the grass is seeded
with 'Puffcorn Delites,'
bought wholesale from Costco,
An elderly lady died last year.
I see her at night,
as I take...

My Kentucky In Spring
Gently sloping emerald hills,
Old, gray fences brightened by daffodils,
Majestic trees ready to burst into bloom,
Strangers smiling and waving at me.
That’s my Kentucky.
Gleaming horses peacefully grazing
Behind white fences,
Old, leaning barns speaking of tobbacco and history,
Spring...

The Lady Down the Lane
When I was but a boy
in the small village of Cold Springs,
I lived near a cantankerous old witch.
At least, that's what the gossip implied she was.
Her name was Almeda Hamilton, and she was a hoarder.
Of...

The Christmas Box
Up in the attic
A little bit frantic
Searching through all of the boxes
Where every holiday
Is here on display
Just hoping that I haven't lost it
Every year gone by now
I have saved all the sounds

Dandelions
Dandelions
" A weed! Stomp it, spray it, eradicate it!"
That is what I hear about Dandelions.
No one wants to see their loveliness,
Think about all the good they can do.
Early in spring they brave the cold,...

Waiting For the Rain
The clouds are playing games again,
moving quickly by
to reveal a deep dark stormy blue sky.
Fading in and out
they sweep in returning
blocking out the...

Spring's Song
Joy, breathless joy, sings to the robin, spring
Coloring hearts and heavens in wonder
Delighting souls with dazzling hues to bring
Raining light through lives who love the thunder
Despite miracles and peace, the flowers
Spring’s breath silences the glistening...

Groundhogs Are Liars
If I were a goundhog I'd bloody well hide.
Groundhogs are just liars, they have no sense of pride.
They said that winter's over and spring is on it's way.
I think those stupid groundhogs were drinking on...

Another Groundhog Day Approaches
Is everybody ready for that lying little rodent
to crawl out of his hole and predict an early Spring.
It doesn't matter what that liar says.
He's not a meteorologist, he doesn't know a thing.
Groundhogs are the center...

Groundhogs and Chipmunks
Bold and brazen he comes lumbering across my garden paths
determined to sample my tomatoes, squash,
a cucumber, a broccoli, a pepper or even flower.
That solid, chubby interloper.
Unlike the welcomed...

Summer End
Summer nears its end
racing
through the weeks now passed
with little left to do
the garden
winding down and fading.

GRASS
Along the lawn I lie, my ease at noon,
the sun warm on my back--
or sometimes, in the lull of evening,
amid tabletalk of worm and beetle,
comes the keening of molespeech,
old groundhogs chuckling deep underground.
And always,...

Morning in a Leafy Time
A bisque sun on the windowsill, the early light smells of marigolds.
Beyond, the garden is as usual, a haven for cracked clay pots,
after windy nights there are yet more broken terracotta options.
Breakfast and the Broadwood...

There Will Be Moonbeams
There will be moonbeams tomorrow,
and on them will ride
the ghostly images of one last summer evening.
Winter is roaring somewhere,
here it is creeping under the hedgerow,
catching groundhogs by surprise
as they shuffle out into the flakes and...

Steps In Time
I have seen the past come and go-
we all have.
I have seen the old be replaced
by the new –
we all have.
I have watched whole groundhog families
grow, thrive, and die
in one stretch of hedgerow,
I have and...

Groundhog Autumn
Gorse rusts, brush burns its colors.
Time and it’s bustling creatures
curls now into pockets and vestibules.
Leaf doors open releasing sky to fall
as they flame.
Hawk-watching crows gather in drifts;
see-through hedges appear, yet twigs
are still olive and...

Two Groundhogs
Two groundhogs, the focus of news,
Saw no shadows, according to crews
Who were filming to learn
What they’d hoped to discern
About how long we’d pay winter’s dues.
Lack of shadows means we should prepare
For an earlier spring,...

Groundhog Day
Two groundhogs seemed to disagree
And I am not surprised.
It’s hard to do your job
When so intently scrutinized.
Punxsutawney Phil did see
His shadow, and that means
Six more weeks of winter:
Keep those snow-blowing machines!
Staten Island Chuck emerged;
His shadow...

The Neighborhood Hoodlums
Crazy rabbits chomping on my lettuce
Deer eating the flowers right down to their nubs
Woodpeckers drilling right through the siding
Armadillos rooting in search of grubs
Squirrels trying to climb down the chimney
Possums and racoon dumping out the...

Time Has Moved On
Oh, Oh. They are at it again, coming out of the woodwork.
People from that past, after all these years.
Playing games, trying to cause harm.
Not wanting truth to come out.
Relentless they are with their conscience,
