engulfed by vines & leaves, though
little light shines through

the tree’s trunk
engulfed by vines & leaves, though
little light shines through

amidst bright colors
and fragrant aromas:
sense overload.

frenetic fly,
spastically flying loops:
lands from whence it flew.
How do you waste the most time every day?
YouTube. I usually go there in a productive pursuit, but then fall into the rabbit hole.
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
Probably Fair food would (as in County Fair.) Provided they haven’t all changed since I was a kid. (Having not been to a Fair since childhood, I wouldn’t know. Hence, its validity as an answer.) So, anything inappropriately breaded and deep-fried.
I’ve never run across home-cooking or home style cooking that was close enough to my mother’s to trigger nostalgia. (Though I guess tuna-mac recalls undergrad years lean on time and money, but with a youthful propensity to not worry over the waistline.)

pink flowers cascade
over a quiet pond:
feels like Spring


an egret alights
on a coracle boat
without nudging it.




a bird in a bush:
does it know it’s worth
half a bird in hand?
