Wetland Sentinels

••⋅☾ #俳句 ☽⋅••

Cat tail Idyll
Sentinels stand proud
Nightshade creeping in

Edmunds Marsh, Washington State, is a 22.5-acre (9-hectare) urban wetland. While I was there taking pictures, I ran into a reclamation crew removing invasive Wizards Nightshade (Circaea lutetiana). We had a long talk about the stream ecosystem there. Apparently, if it isn't cleared out, the area turns into a bog. He pointed to huge hedges of the plant smothering other plants further in, but in an area where he wasn't allowed to go.

Ghosts wanting to take a walk

For months after my dog Charlie died the lease would rattle in the entry way at odd times. Was he lonely, wanting a walk?

Ms. McDonald's Tomatoes

Ms. McDonald
No longer grew beef
Her tomatoes though...

#俳文 #Haibun The doll is as found, i.e., not posed. The tomatoes are windfalls from roadside planters. (Obviously posed) The background is touched-up road concrete paving.

I never quite know when my daily poetry-reading practice and my work in transportation will overlap. They do more often than you might think, as with this poem by Maya Stein, "The Sting."
