Poems Twenty-Four Through Thirty (Plus), Poem-A-Day, "Ten Nature Haiku"

sleeping late into

a November afternoon;

dreaming in color

the woodpecker stops,

perhaps he heard me shouting,

shotgun in my hand

the snapping turtle

warns us with his vicious fangs:

"no skinny-dipping"

raccoons tap their beaks

against unyielding metal:

nightly ritual

yesterday's

you maybe write the oddest poems. :)

like this especially
the ladybug stings

only those who mock the black

dots on her red dress

Thank you, K! For both the "oddest poem" comment and for the love on the ladybug haiku.

I'm either happiest with the ladybug haiku
or the grapefruit one, I can't tell.

Can't wait to see you!
