She wore high-heeled, pointy-toed kickers
Like American city slickers
Walked out on the ice
Against all advice
Promptly fell down and soiled her knickers
The first day of work, a fiasco became
Given badges with first initial, last name
None could be sicker
Than Randy Slicker
"Please, don't do this to me!", he would exclaim!
Dogwalkers
crisscrossing
city streets
finding dog parks
to let loose
throw a frisbee
a bone or a stick
burn pent up energy
get the heart racing
run at full speed
back and forth
fun socializing

To most city slickers I suppose
it’s a little hard for them to tell
the difference between a cowboy
and just a plain farmer. in the dell
Well one uses a horse and a rope
the other drives a tractor and plow
One smells like a fancy pickup truck
The other like the ass of a cow
A Few Haiku
cold water
slapped by beaver tail
take heed
red maples
anticipating
spring’s fire
city slickers
feet slapping wet pavement
a waddle of ducks
And a Senryu
hidden rings
protect her secret
twenty nine years

Not like stately elms
do town children line up
nor like gnarled oaks
More like weeping willows
as they yearn for the
elusive health
of their county cousins
or the sullen slang
of city slickers

Scalding hot
The melting pot
City slickers
With knotted knickers
Traffic jams
Slaughter of lambs
Put up a fight
Speed of light
Amidst the rat race
Within reach a can of mace
Keeping up
Got bumped up
Then retired
Just got too tired

Delicate round droplets on perky white daisies,
Rich verdant April grasses glowing like emeralds
Yellow slickers with matching hats and red rain boots,
World is alive, eager, enthusiastically wet and shiny.
A tiny rainbow with glimpses of pinks and yellows
Rain smiles at her handiwork, showing off spider web.
yellow yolks on the kitchen floor
brighten up the tile
sunflower seeds glow in the sun
for a country mile
dandelions with their bright heads
springing up all over the yard
sunshine magic on my front porch
enticing me to bard
rain coat slicker and yellow boots
shining in the rain’s little test
the only thing that would make today more sweet
would be a taste of lemon zest.
The malls are decorated
And happy voices sing.
It's Christmas in the Northwest,
Let all the churchbells ring.
We haul out our umbrellas
And put our slickers on.
We dash between the showers
To get our shopping done.
There are Santas on each corner
As perfect gifts we chase.
We sacrifice our coifed hairdos,
A smile on every face.
It's Christmas in the Northwest
From mountain top to vale.
The raindrops won't deter us
From one more Christmas sale.
