Tales of Brave Ulysses? Cool. I was swimming with turtles a few weeks ago.

No, really! At least twice…

Haiku For Autumn

An old alley cat
sharpened his claws on a tree
then pissed on brown leaves

I used to think her name was prob’ly Cleo
Her name would rhyme to show a poet’s class
And so it just makes sense that she’d choose Neo.

But Sunday morn when I walked out of Mass
I search the sky and then began to think.
A rhyme like that was surely much too crass.

She has the kind of guts to face the brink
She pulls no punches, says what’s on her mind
The name she chose was just to make us think.

If nothing else we know she’s truly kind
She doesn’t write like one who’d drop a bomb
Her virtue is she has an active mind.

She writes for us with knowledge and aplomb
I think she may be just a loving Mom.

Mark

I dont think they were talking about the snow though.

Beautifully done. I’m shivering with pleasure. Thank you for inviting us inside and fixing us a treat.

Hat tip to Gertrude Stein.

Y’all take the snow, cold winds that blow,
we’ll fish our lake till sundown red.
We’ll watch the Ocean eb and flow,
and slap a ‘skeeter on our head.

Are skeeters better than frozen ears,
or tiny broken, crystal tears?
We’ll take the year-round cozy days,
and pray you out of that icy maze…
