Haiku

Ow ow ow ow ow Drilling out the rotted tooth. Aspirin, pretty please.

Highland mountain home, Drifting farther every day From this current life.

The hills still whisper. I’ve smuggled their heart away. They miss me the most.

Knoxville, Tennessee. Like a lost prodigal son I return to you.

Coworkers and I Flinging poop at each other: Why we have bosses.

Chubby warrior Hidden behind toothy smile: Hippopotamus!

Ducklings huddle near. Mother herds them in the pond. No minivan here!

Rings of rust and stone. Wind buffets the weathervane. We eat chicken wings.

Snowing in April? Nowhere around here, baby. I sure wish it could.

The sun’s power: in Plants’ photosynthesis; and Giving me heat stroke.
