Feed Sack Dresses
A combination of Haiku and Kyoka
designer originals
from feed sacks
after the chickens were fed
her artist's touch
honed with the aid
of her foot movement
on the treadle machine

An Animal Haiku Trilogy
Bumblebees buzzing...
Erie irritating sounds:
“Ouch”! bees also sting...
Confined to his bowl,
A fish, seemingly talking,
Jumps! wiggling free...
Penguins standing proud,
Poised as if to soon take flight,
Flap their wings…then…splash!

Hate is of the mind…
Love—of the womb of the heart—
The heart can’t birth hate:-

youthful nostalgia

free book catharsis
my inner-school-self
needs literary healing
ongoing escape
