Corny Joke
Q: Why couldn't the corn
hear the farmer's tractor?
A: Because it got a kernel
stuck in its ear.

Dusty Daze
Monsoon winds whip up,
a wall of dust slams down.
Caught in the middle,
I squint and frown.

Endless Game of Chase
Backyard lizards
tease my dog -
zipping under the bougainvillaea,
whipping up the bark of the Mesquite tree,
flitting over the brick wall.
My dog charges,
leaps,
bounds,
and barks.
Chasing those
lizards
in the desert
heat.

Really?
What if...
...birds skittered
and mice flew?
What if...
...cats barked
and dogs mewed?
What if...
...cakes were frozen
and ice cream baked?
What if...
...what we think is real
is actually fake?

Boxed Expectations
Velvet box

What's that

Against the black,
sparkling white.
A fancy button?
That's not right!

Everything is Normal
My umbrella is stuck,
it just will not shut.
Nonchalant
through the store I strut.

Parking Lot Panic
Clouds low and dark,
where did I park?
Rain pelts and pounds -
my windows are down!

Tell No Lies, Love My Fries
Golden potatoes,
delicately fried.
In my milkshake
they dip and hide.
Down my throat,
an oily ride.
Taste so good,
my smile wide.
Happy French Fries Day!

Missed Opportunity or a Mistake?
I've heard it said:
"When one door closes
another opens."
But what if
your finger
gets smashed
when the
door closed?
And you can't
reopen it?
And you are
in pain?
And the
other door is
just out of reach?
What then?

As American As Apple Pie
Sparklers glow,
fast and slow.
Rockets boom,
eclipse the moon.
Fireworks sputter,
hiss and shutter.
Red, white and blue -
it's what we do.
On the 4th of July -
as American as apple pie.
Happy 4th of July!

Startling Temblor
The couch sways,
light fixture swings.
Rare earthquake -
my phone rings.
"Did you feel that?"
