POETRY MONTH DAY # 26 — HODGEPODGE

§

Today is all about creating a sort of poetry blueprint after jotting down your answers to an "almanac questionnaire." Too sleepy to do much with it.


Hodgepodge

thank you for coming,
the fox is back in his bedtime story,
cowering dog 
to the cold, hard, nothing
of confrontation.

bluster of a day
sprigs of yarrow still coming up 
legacy of a former resident 
who planted it everywhere, 
its roots as determined to stay 
as I am for them to go.

black bear      garter snake      
rainbow trout,      
five-year-old’s scary wolf-face nightmare
footprints of the past
in an ordinary life.
