After a Run
Perfect anecdote
Swollen and aching calf’s need
Movie on my phone
A pretzel in the warm bath
Keep compulsively
stretching

Annual Compromise
The photog’s #awareness
#New #leaves and grass all too green
Wish for #autumn rains soon
Briefly #placated by flowers
But ready to #plumb fall’s mood

Will our #return to the start
Need us to stay, #overcome

#Heartbreak
What a Mangled Web
“He #gelds the lily”
I laugh at his #mondegreen
“Not high poise,” he frowns
You mean ‘gilds and praise,’ don’t you?
“No, I didn’t nix them up!”

Plain #Reflection
Self-deprecating
Compares my mirror image
To the #sky in the #ocean
Failure…. no mystery or
Beauty, just ordinary

Waiting for the #Bus
A #portico’s view
#Redbacks crawl on #hyacinths
#Wapiti moving
Through the neighbor’s nearby fields
#Chill, eating #jelly on toast

Entrapment
#Bulldogs sit sentry
A devoid, #colorless #world
Where #narguns stalk prey….
Children heed these #dire warnings!
They DO NOT #provide shelter!

Frontier
Wild piebald #colt runs
Free under #clear #skies, chasing
Daylight, butterflies,
Cabin’s chimney #wafting #smoke
Then #grassy rolls end playtime

Optimistically Folorn
I stand in the #weeds
Thinking of #flying my #kite
#Plenty of free space
#Chained to loneliness, hoping
I’ll #spin the day positive

The Simple and the Sublime
My bucket list goal
Visit grand Australia
Not just for the roos
Or Sydney Opera House
But pretty #Waratah too

A #chill switch has flipped
Anger #birthed from illness
Just single cheek #pecks
Perfect #union too soon died
Pup to guardian angel

Her little heart beats,
The winds of change shake her core.
She's Small but mighty.
The miniature fighter.
She never regrets the hunt.
