Ten Short Form Poems
the
cow jumps
over
the moon …
udder
nonsense
//
the
wind rushing
my
ruffled feathers -
something
to snipe about
//
too
many beans
in
the chili
I
repeat my mistake
//
egg
on my face
spit
on my boots -
where
did we go wrong?
//
you
don‘t mince words —
the
sting of garlic
//
martagon
lily -
even
your name
turns
my head
//
snake
plant
the
long slick tongue
of
your kiss
//
annual
bird count -
a
flock of cameras
skirting
the shoreline
//
windy
day…
I
walk backwards
to
yesterday’s calm
//
canning
day …
the
ping
of a job well done
