Who Am I?
I am breakfast
while on the go,
sometimes referred to
as Vitamin O.
Despite my hole
I do not leak,
through my middle
you can peek.
I'm eaten plain
or drizzled with icing.
Either way
I'm quite enticing.
Topped with sprinkles
or chopped nuts,
I've been known
to cause big butts.

Pond•ering Haiku
lily pads float
umbrellas
for the fish
fish study
the muck
homework
fish exhale
the ripples echo
their sighs

Back To School Bake
As the temperatures rise,
my IQ drops.
In my hot classroom,
it feels like time stops.
Fans are whirring,
teacher's voice I can't hear.
Why do we start school
in the hottest month of the year?

Shoe Shock
 |
| Palo Verde Beetle |
here are my shoes
I put them on
then I cruise.
What do I feel
tickling my toe?
Fingerlike antenna,
no, No, NO!
Out of my shoe
comes a horned head,
a spiked thorax
and wings spread.
From under the tongue
a beetle flies.
I scream, I run,
I cry, Cry, CRY!
After I'm calm
I go to the shops,
but now I wear
airy flip-flops.
