spring wildflowers
the pennies I found
outside the jail

These micropoems aka “small stones” are short observational micro-poem-things mostly about nature. They are the result of paying close attention to the world around and writing from those moments.

I walked the length of Japan
said Fitbit’s email
tree shadows
late sunset painted
on brick homes
Venus peeks out from
a cirrus curtain
the old dog’s ribs
shift with each breath
these long nights
the moon
cradled in elm
branches
plastic ghosts
sway on the wind
long autumn
shadows
full trees still
cling
to summer
a sulphur butterfly
rides prairie wind
late sunflowers
lean heavy
against a barbwire fence
everyone’s asleep
my footsteps in the dark house
the box fan rattles
autumn grass
sunglare scattered
in dry fields
