With crisp sunbright snow
on a cardinal’s red cape
winter welcomes you.

Live this moment
Feel this day this sun this breath
I loved those things too.

Sometimes a story seed comes to me, and while it doesn’t always grow into a full-fledged story, it’s often expressed in the form of its own small poem. Like this.
Can We Make a Deal?
My alien mind
In this animal body
Which wins, in the end?
And since today is National Cat Day in the US, let’s make that animal a kitty.

Sweat beads on hot skin
Insects buzz, records breaking
Strange October days.

Another haiku from the archives. I was perhaps… six or seven? Old enough to know the value of friends, and rice.
I shall give thanks twice—
Sharing with an honored friend
My small bowl of rice.

Beneath violets’
purple shade, the chipmunk darts
from winter to spring

Embrace the world’s gems
but know, of all that you see,
your light shines brightest.

Of all Nature’s gifts
Bright sun, warm rain, skies above…
You bring naught but joy.

I spent a non-zero amount of time today writing out-of-office poetry. Because the holidays need more fun:)

From the same stash of childhood ephemera as the Great Green Dragon, I give you a haiku on the theme of the moon.
O Mistress, come see!
What is this caught in the net
Of the cherry tree?
— Jenny J.
