Mock Turkey
Mock turkey
hiding in the grass
As his wattle wiggles
‘neath white beard and red hat
Pretending to be
what he is not
Mocking the people
and their eating beliefs
that they were taught
Merry thanks to you…
Joke Bubbles
Joy!
welling up like the laugh
after a slow joke
bubbles up from my center
A never ending artesian well
from Spirit…
Private Places
The cobbled walkway
traversed the garden
and ended in private places
Where big blue containers
ceramic and overflowing
with brilliant red geraniums
sat spritely next to
old wooden benches
Near the tiny stoops
in front of ancient wooden doors
There the brightly colored
speckled painted walls
reached to cloudless sky
Daily Delights
Pineapple guava aka feijoa
A delightful surprise
just showed up one day
Life is full of delights like that
They just show up unexpectedly
So, enjoy the daily harvest of life
as it keeps manifesting in your life
Crazy Old Coyote
Crazy old Coyote man
slunk around
hiding in plain sight
Watching the silly two-leggeds
as they danced their silly dances
with such serious faces
• • • ○ • • •
Crazy like brother fox
he slipped between bushes
full of his favorite berries
Behind moss covered boulders
no weight upon his shoulders
Observing, smiling, thriving
in his version of the natural world
