Poems from past Octobers

1995
in broad daylight
a lot of naked ladies
(lycoris lilies)

1997
'possum on the porch
looking for an easy meal
cat merely watches
~~~~

1998
trash on the neat lawn
no, bread for the birds ...no
mowed-over toadstools
~~~~

2001
red smudge
on the magazine
a lamp-drawn insect
~~~~

2003
the hairless hatchling
sprawls across the 3 eggs
still in the nest
~~~~

2010
road traffic
drowning out the sound
of the airplane
