Louisiana Overkill
The overkill of rainstorm
with threat of life and limb; trees
swivel, sway, dancing, falling
with wake of devastation rising.

No More War
North Korea is making serious threats
What's wrong with these people, do they forget
No one can win

From the Deep Wayra
Dirty fossil fuel
Extracted from deep earth crust
By men who risked life and limb
Today cursed by many
Gave us this civilization

American Soldier
Our soldiers line up to be remembered
As the best of the best at their job.
They wish to be needed and depended on

Squirrel
In the shadows of the acorn tree, watching the squirrels race around gathering acorns. Their busy little hands rotating them, examining each acorn.

Trees full of acorns
daring acrobat squirrels
hoards little brown nuts
