Doodads — the yard — taken 5/23/20

With the current heat wave, things have moved along even more since these were taken 3 days ago! My tomatoes are anxious to get outside but I’m waiting until 6/1 to take a chance. There is a chipmunk turf war going on here under the bird feeders. Unless that’s love? There is an awful lot…

dVerse — A room with potential and The Sunday Muse

Adequate dimensions for its purpose, Wall-to-wall closet, and two night stands; Glass door open, breaths deep, fresh Beige, squared with art, tolerant voyeurs Goldilocks bed, a drawer full of toys Blue books, cremes, and oils Vervain, rose, jasmine mists and smokes A stage set for dreams, awake, asleep A corner box where green has no…

Haikai Challenge #140 (5/21/20): Memorial Day and dVerse OLN

Breeze sways spattered poppies long after the sniper is gone — dark falls on a corpse. * Ravaged meat in a box: Special Delivery. Worms finish what maggots started. * He watches her kneel in the wet grass at his grave, crying for herself in her long black veil+. * Three nights she dreams of…
