A man in Austin did stand,
On his head in the Texan sand.
When asked why this feat,
He replied, oh so neat,
"Better leg than never," so grand!

somewhere along the line
denoting rational behavior
there must be a space
a space devoid of reason

PAINTING

this painted figure
is walking a country road

when a closer look reveals
no figure, just three quick paint strokes

Austin Commute

It wasn't so bad this morning
But I arrived an hour early
If I'd left later—
     even a few minutes?
Only the clock will tell
After all
     It's only my first time

Lo, behold those cheeks
Beside thee, dear, roses pale

Gone to sleep ‘neath mountain sun

There once was a long lean man from Boston.

Who drove fast around town in an Austin.

Gave car more gas

Police he did pass.

Now he’s hurting with ticket  it’s costin’.

FALL  (three Haiku) 

frosted lawn
black with sparrows
pecking 


gust of cold wind
blink of the eye
last leaf flutters down

snowy day

A young pug of exceptional breeding
leaps to her owners side as he’s reading
She adores Jane Austin
In her books she gets lost in
And won’t budge ‘till it’s time for her feeding
