Light of the Setting Sun [Haiku]

flowers glow brightly 
in the sunset’s low light,
and then go dark

Gone to Seed [Free Verse]

abandoned farmstead --
a blip in the flat-wide spaces
of the industrial-agro-manufactured prairie

the barn, dilapidated
the vehicles & implements, rusted

weeds growing from every crack

tall, blonde grass -
waving like ripe wheat -
stands in both front & back yards

something has died on the prairie
something is returning to dust & weed
something is lost

Bali Limerick

There was a digital nomad of Bali
who took to micro-dosing Molly.
Once, his dose wasn't micro-,
he fell in love with a crow,
and decided chugging coffee made for less folly.

spring flowers
hang limply, after
the downpour

Vang Vieng Limerick

A tourist tubing on the river Nam Song
drifted into a nap that went a little too long.
Six rivers later,
he bumped into a freighter
in open seas, and knew something'd gone wrong. 

Agra Limerick

A magician & driver from Agra
was master of the abracadabra.
He'd get forty in a car...
(with a hook and crowbar.)
Told he could get ten more outside, said, "Huh?"
