deep primordial
catfish rises from the mud
finds thin ice layer
new age epoch harbinger
dives down to warm muck below

catfish was just food
now also a means for fraud
a simpler life gone

I'd just like to say
With the weather warming up
Hooray for Boobies!
Fibonacci bloom
Nature's own hierarchy
One, one, two, three, five
Earthly life's blueprint
in double helix enclosed
evolving beauty

red leaves --
the slow pilgrimage
into autumn
#DailyHaikuPrompt (red leaves, pilgrimage) #haiku #senryu #poetry #WritingCommunity
For years Red believed
Wandered in the wilderness
A seekers mission
The goal he was sold
The elusive spondulix
Prosperity gold
Then Red realized
All that glitters ain't gold, so
Red leaves pilgrimage

No More Heroes
Hoplite, drop your shield,
or be forever cursed by
safety, in shadow.

sometimes grit is good
texture matters a great deal
in people and pears

I like Bosc pears, seeded watermelon, and determined people for the same reason 
blustery breezes
birch leaves playfully dancing
to the tune of life
ghost companion
curled by the screen door
inside your ray of life

Down the neighborhood
A pear tree grew, tall and full.
As is, so have I.

the song is
no longer her song
