Hawk Circles

Sharp cries ring out across the sky
white feathers fly, then fall
the death defying scene plays on
for some, but not for all.

Mushroom Musings

Words to live by

When deciding

whether to

or whether not

to eat a mushroom

that’s not store bought

Rule of thumb,

stay away from red

don’t be dumb

or you may be dead

A Mushroom Undertaking

A most deadly occurrence

you will find with assurance

if a taste of the fungus

you crave

Without careful observance

and some expert concurrence

there's not one among us

that brave

So let us use common sense

forego all foolish pretense

or those mushrooms will buy us

our grave

Sunday Best

caps and bonnets

smooth and rough

fine as sonnets

soft as fluff

dots and stripes 

and plain vanilla

dressed to kill

if you dare taste a little

Love and Lipstick

Killer Lipstick

Hope burns

Lips stick

Kisses kill

Glasses clink

Bubbles die

Tears pour

Hope fades

Love lies

Duplicity

Love lies softly

  in the quiet stream

    with promises it never means

      to keep, and goes on flowing
