trump's presidential library is there a tower big enough for his ego

a much needed rain brings out a sparrow's song

cardinal baseball season maybe we should skip this year

rabbitscape the white clover takes over the garden

approaching storm the code red alert for a missing, non-verbal toddler

What Shall We Celebrate Today?


70 mph winds so many new catalpa leaves gone

it only takes a second to get a steam burn from cooking 

defunding the library how about we defund the politicians 

ribbons and roses to mark the site of another mass shooting

cleansing history until the facts are all nice and sanitized

first crop of dandelions proving I can grow something

stray cat's jump splashes me with creek water

worn out barns I'm no good at weathering the storms

The Hickory Trail

hike number 11 I've lost count of my footsteps

homeless meth addicts another part of rural america forgotten

earthquake survivors "be silent so you can hear them"

wind advisory the sway of trees some standing some broken

Chinese spy balloon the weather got a little rough off the Carolina coast

Santos' embellishments just a reflection of those around him

the hickory trail a wayward dryer sheet caught by a thorn bush

spring tidings that bluebird look of "one step closer and I'll fly off"

upgraded vending machines no longer accepting our change

January 2023


a "right as rain" storm refills the pond

fortune cookie the tea has gotten cold

moonless night I miss the light of your smile

leave me alone says the swish of the cat tail

taxing January the year-in-review forms trickle in

calendar change caribou crossing the snow

new year's day it's how every day starts

Somewhere in the Cattails


leaky faucet the mid-term results keep trickling in

snow predictions rush hour will be longer than an hour

red-winged blackbird a trill hidden somewhere in the cattails

impeach biden on the truck with a georgia license plate

contrail the airspace getting ready for trump's big announcement

sunset the shadows grow until they disappear

the good evening moon introduces itself

sleep rehearsal I'm one owl hoot away from my dreams
