I was walking past a Dalek...
It took me by surprise!
It was wearing a scarf and hat.
It told me to, "Ak-sess-a-rize!"

An arising newness

Without connection

Appearances seemingly

Buoyed as nothing...

strike us down that we may rise
all shook up, to our surprise

let death
catch you,
by surprise

Violets I suspect
Butterflies tremble
My clothing and hair

Love isn't always
chocolate and red roses;
it's those small gestures,
The swipe of new wiper blades,
surprise kisses on your car.

as I sit on the back porch
Awaiting the geese
Yet, with pink surprise, toothpick
