Short Domiciled Poems

Dogs from fields afar
Persistent in a clamorous debate

The rains bring forth a blaze of flowers wild:
a royal catch, an iron weed,

Wild blue, the flox; gold ticks from seed,
dainty bluebells ring out the hour.
In winter’s grip no longer domiciled,
arranged according to a plan
unknown to man
that shouts with glee that spring has reconciled.

Their order has arrived
So no one feels that he or she
From shopping’s been deprived.

May keep us all indoors
But FedEx helps to bring us
What we’re needing from the stores....
