Pretty flowering plant
Often seen at Christmas,
Indigenous to Mexico
Now available at nurseries
Showy scarlet bracts,
Each surrounding yellow flowers
That require much attention
Throughout the season
In order to re-bloom
And delight next year.

nurseries green and pennies brown

hello brother,
 irish hearing of translations

in american creole we leave, ears are not left nor right
they perk and grass talls to a tickling memory for running up to the hairs of trigger
trigger is limber and frequiently as december
bestow herselfish visits when attendants of time
dare not his fender
his fender glides in names as thumper
neither care to scamper yet both shall parent springs

Where have all the Green Trees Gone?

Robin Hood thieves from the woodlands,  
for seemingly meaningful greenery,
and rather mysterious scenery
to sell at garden  nurseries.
Jack axes the canopies:
veneers to go on vanities.
And the lavish sunlit 
leaves are fading,
and falling. 

Pragmatic greed
smothers silent cries,
of felled trees,
gruesomely shrugs
over carnage.
Emptiness sweeps
into grey-gaps.

We ache for beauty… 

remembered,

imagined,

unseen.

Haiku Series - Desert Sands

the sand creeps sand dunes grow... gaining ground marram holds all together desert mountains... dunes imperceptible movers yet always growing on a windy day a mile long sandy beach not a place to be sandy beaches here one day... gone the next hungry oceans ripples in the sand saltating grains form ripples sand dunes nurseries creatures of the sand reptiles... insects... birds... mammals oasis wildlife

Our Choice

OUR CHOICE

this is the winter of our discontent
the four horsemen ride exultant
slaughter in churches
bombed nurseries
corrupt legislators
pollinators dying for lack of forage 
all the sun’s blessings can not
disguise our disintegration

small acts of gentleness
saving horses
and tiny piglets from factory farms
a touch of hands
or smile on the phone
keep the choking smoke away
we are the lucky ones
who see these distant fires
signaling from hill to hill
