ancient and fierce
coiled themselves in corners
waiting for the change of epochs

Caveat: Poem #3524 "Scudding eastward"
ㅁ
The sun
came out, a bit,
illuminated things,
then went back behind the grey clouds.
Weather.- a pseudo-haiku.

Caveat: Poem #3510 "Summarizing current attitudes"
ㅁ
some days
you just don't care
while other days, you do
and it's not something that makes sense
just is- a cinquain.

Caveat: Poem #3509 "Spin your wheels"
ㅁ
Slush day.
Like a snow day:
heavy rain on deep snow
makes local roads impassable.
Stay home.- a cinquain. Our neighbor with his big giant truck got stuck in the entrance of our shared driveway and had to use a winch to escape. I decided I didn't feel like doing that.

Caveat: Poem #3508 "Totem"
ㅁ
Eagle.
Up in the tree.
Supervising traffic.
Thinking deeply about her lunch.
Quiet.- a cinquain.

do I
despise them so?
The men who have hoarded
our collective national wealth?
I do -
Well, I guess I have to post this one again...

seized up and refusing any

Let’s Play Instead
There’s something about the day after Labor Day. In the olden days (when many of us were children), it was the first day of school, so even as adults many of us have an urge to buy notebooks and pens and sharpen pencils and Get Serious.

As if you could squeeze out

I have a new post on my experimental journal and on how it's going, implemented, and may change. I may also have noted a way to get digital bird stickers.
