blooms disheveled
by yesterday's storms,
shine brightly today.

Dog Rose [Haiku]
one dog rose bloom
stands out from a blurred world:
still, as shadows twist.

seems to wait til no one
is looking to drop.
what a thing it must be
to see a holdout yield.

Last Blossom [Blank Verse]
The final flower falls to the sidewalk. It's damp and deformed, -n- sugared with sand. It's gritty and pretty at the same time. The ants are crawling around and across. A faintly putrid scent must call to them. They crave that little bit of death in food. And tomorrow it'll be gone -- somehow -- gone. Who knows where: swept up, carried, or wind-blown. It will be gone, and branches will be bare.
