Woof
Dear bag of nails
you are driving me crazy
once I thought you sweet
and fruity
now I deplore the way you snore
Love you dearest doggy
but you’re a real eyesore
woof me a kiss
while you piss
on the roses
your big old mutt head
graining
from the flowerbed....

Dear bag of nails
you are driving me crazy
once I thought you sweet
and fruity
now I deplore the way you snore
Love you dearest doggy
but you’re a real eyesore
woof me a kiss
while you piss
on the roses
your big old mutt head
graining
from the flowerbed....

The Year I Found
My dead self in
The flowerbed, grey
As a marbleized salamander
Beneath a bleed of acorn roots
I placed the devil mask
Over the fireplace, counter
Spell so to speak.
Then came the kicker- my wife
Chopping down the tiger lilies
As I drove up the driveway
After a bad day....

I do not know?
Dog Watch
Little yappy dog
why do you bark at the sky
and not piddle nor poo?
I let you out a time ago
but you will not go
yet sniff and foot it around
trampling over the flowerbed
and not doing what you ought to.
Still as I watch your skimpy
scrappy form, got to smile
and must love you.
You yippity-yappity mutt
you....

Easter Lily
Eden’s garden manifest
Disgraceful sins confessed
Lily footprints scattered
Nutrient droplets pattered
Eve, deprived of paradise
Exiles ultimate price
Misdeeds penance pour
Tethered tis utopian door
Devious snake most elated
Abiding piousness over-rated
Resentful of mortal campaign
Relished serpentine reign
Aromas pierce thru deceit
Flowerbed mornings greet
Thwart desires craved
Embosom allure saved

Uninvited Guests
Early this morning, I found, much to my chagrin,
the flowers in my garden were as if they’d never been.
Bitten off above the soil, green stubs left aground.
Mad enough to spit nails, I fussed and stomped around.
It was easy to discover who the culprits were.
They left telling evidence indented in the dirt there.
Their hoof prints tracked all around the flowerbed;
no blossoms for my soul today, food in their stomachs instead....

When Pigeons Fly
Today the air is brisk and clear
With a whisp of winter in the air.
As pigeons coo, sweet morning doves,
Pitching woo like young love does.
And speckled dew upon the leaves
Uplifting every part of me
From tip of toes to top of head
Enthralled by all in this flowerbed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to rise
Transforming
Me,
When pigeons fly.
