JUST CHILLIN' - not quite hikuGnarled fingers shook off the snow

An old grandmother Elm sighed.
A feral cat
Creeps along a city street
No pity kitty
A cold rain
Slows the slugs
Fast escape
A wet hawk shivers
As squirrels hide in their tails
Nature’s quandary

A cat and a dogA cat and a dog, marinated delight,

We all commit inmumerable errors
Nobody is perfect, everybody is under the sticks
Like the old days in the school of horrors
Where students are mistreated or beat with wires

Path, I dream of glittering rubies;
I dream of whispering words washing
Over me, I dream of snowy cliffs
With people...

Trick Or TreatCareless stepping
over the sole
onto the tongue
taking foothold
tingling the leg crawl
