As I start to write this
Now
It is finished

The baseball wakes and departs from the glove where it has slept for months. Now for a season one boy's dreams, of major league, will be fulfilled.

The hens were sleeping
A crisp cool breeze was blowing
And the full moon shinned
The chicken snakes crept inside
To begin their feast
Then one of them fell in love
His cold evil heart
Was struck by Cupid's arrow
He licked the hen's beak
She awoke and fear overcame
The farmer heard screams
And all the chicken snakes fled
That is all but one
While trying to win her love
The farmer chopped his head off

The moon was absent and the fog blended with the blackness. Then I saw a white horse standing boldly in the meadow.  The fears that had trapped me vanished.

Junk
Sells
Treasures
For someone
Often gold is found
In piles and piles of old clutter

Number two
Pencils of the past
Had a life
Which was brief
Now thanks to digital times
They live much longer

Duck Season
Opens on Toon Lake
Cartoon Man
Is ready
His mouth waters for roast duck
Horns grow on his head

Cartoon Duck
Is on full alert
Playing ticks
Scheming plans
Confusing his pursuer
Until the moon shines

Duck Dinners
Never come about
Cartoon man
Thinks and thinks
And finally surrenders
Waiting for next year
