Premium MemberWho Ordered Mushrooms - 2025

When no middle ground can be found amid rifts
They’ll send in a few unsolicited gifts
The east and the west shall politely decline
each incoming gift with a two fingered sign

It’s “You show me yours and I’ll show you mine
You’ll find mine is bigger and faster than thine.”
Those egotist madmen square up, face to face
Each has a

Premium MemberMore on Mushrooms?

I cannot sleep - my mind is uneasy.
You can see, I'm no longer light and breezy.
Was there something more, I still need to say
about mushrooms to dear CayCay?

Mushrooms

They were all out standing in their field
with an ass or two and a few moose
along with a stray Canadian goose
when someone let the Appaloosas loose
not a welcome sight nor pretty view
while the moose who cud did slowly chew
the well-trained colt did not bolt
or even buck to shuck us
the goose didn't give a honk or

Hunting for Mushrooms

The morning was dark and misty
venturing out before the throng
weaving between oak and elder
the path I took was long

I stumbled on a clearing
and fell down upon my knees
it was there I started digging
through discarded wood and leaves

burrowing through the top soil
breaking deeper in the dirt
my fingers and palms wore earth stains
nails had worked to earn

Premium MemberBanned Book Club VIII -Psychedelia studies

To be truly, fully present
Of consciousness and
answering why we are here,
These studies are a promising field of research
Yet by powerful backlash
research has halted
For severe depression and PTSD
Universities use micro-doses of psylocibin
Derived from mushrooms
It lowers stress and doesn’t
cause hallucinations
Follow up studies show dramatic improvement
of conditions not previously responsive
to conventional medications and therapies
This chemical is still widely

Premium MemberBlue Mushroom

Off the forest trails, where bushwhackers stray,  
Restless Mary ducked branches, left her screen that day.  
She was startled when a Horned owl flew
A dragonfly landed on her sleeve; its color was blue.

Braided ivy above made darkness at noon
She tripped over a log, saw a glowing mushroom,  
It lit up her face,

      Afternoon ember flare coddles forest
      Nodule noses, from dark bark eyes sap drips
      Naked soldiers, Summer’s subside promised
      Farewell foliage, spun fairy floss gossip

Ode To The Fifth Kingdom

Strophe
I
O mycorrhiza, natures inter net.
This inter net does keep all plants alive .
It beats out what our race has thought as yet.
 The natural world around it does thrive.
II
Trees struck by lightning ,finished by decay.
The  Net enacts signs to the  biosphere
Mycorrhiza knows and does save the day.
The Net does save the ecosphere is

Premium MemberWoven Worlds

A world arises as dryad clusters of interlaced oysteruos flair umbrellas fairies from sunburst orb piercing rays.  Vast umbra fae churn soil into a sea of plush fungi filigree in midst fields blanketed with lush evergreen forestry. Highland's spore-bearing rush wild, elevating charm. The gloaming illumination, an alternate universe climaxes as Jinns grant wishes

Assume Nothing of Storms

For an hour
Cicadas saw at the early August evening
While thunder purrs as kittens
In the yarn of dark clouds balled up out west over Ionia County

Trees prepare their umbrellas
The Tigers on TV swing away in the 3rd inning
A good book in hand

Then out of hand
A den of lions-wind roars outside our patio window
Devours the screens
I jump

Potatoes And Mushrooms



    Fries are not only deep-fried sticks to which nothing permanent connects
But also, what happens when a person makes some serious mistakes.
  And a way to eat however many potatoes a person wants to in one sitting           
 Even

Premium MemberSears Merry Mushrooms

In 1968 I was filling my hope chest with embroidered tea towels.
I spent a week’s salary on a mushroom canister set in 1969.
Sears had a collection of mushroom kitchen items.
They were called the Merry Mushrooms.
I began embroidering new tea towels that matched the MMs.
Not realizing that mushrooms had anything to do with drugs.
