Clever Shrooms [Haiku]

rotten log fungi
imitate oysters
on pier pilings

Reishi [Haiku]

on a dead tree,
in the cocoa-colored flood:
coveted Reishi

Only Up [Haiku]

shaggy parasol
sits by the sidewalk,
knowing only up

Stinkhorn [Haiku]

a stinkhorn unfolds,
drops its gauzy skirt,
and soon is gone

POEM: Decomposing the Sun

a mushroom cap

mango and red, burnished

rises from the forest floor

decomposition painted into a setting sun

what a masterpiece nature makes of rotting gunk
