With apologies to Rodgers & Hammerstein...

"June is bustin' out all over..."

the basso warble
of the sandhill crane
in its mating dance
[publ. Haiku Headlines]


cleaning the spare room
for an early-summer guest~
a still-hidden egg
[publ. Piedmont Literary Review]


the pond
hemmed in by foothills~
summer heat shimmers
[publ. Season's Greeting Letters,
and Poets' Roundtable of Arkansas
Anthology, 2007]


songbirds
and old men
on the Promenade
[publ. Hot Springs AR Sentinel Record's
mailaway edition]


cows in the pond
up to their bellies
one-hundred degrees
[publ. 37 Cents e-zine]


flag moving slightly
but the windchimes are mute
a cardinal's 'chit'
[publ. 37 Cents e-zine]


May your writing "bust out" all during June.
