a woman
with a walker
he gives her a free ride
just for getting
on the bus

waking
to the sound
of a bird
pecking a poem
onto an old tree

March mist
following no one
but his own faded tracks
an old poet lost
on the mountain

a song sleeps
somewhere in the woods
and waits for a poet
to come by
and sing it

luckily
I can still find her
roaming in the thick March fog
thanks to the scent
of her perfume

A light brown toad with a wide, dark brown stripe running down their side! They are covered with lots of tiny, spiky bumps! A row of larger spiky bumps runs from their parotoid gland down their side, forming a border between the light brown and dark brown colors! They also have large spiky bumps on their cheeks and forelegs and have a slight crest running from the tip of their nose and around their eyes, connecting to their parotoid gland!

Porcupinefishes are like the corgis of the fish world - chonky, oddly-shaped, and with a perpetual slight smile. They are fairly fast swimmers but tolerant of a slow respectful approach. #fish #oceans #scuba #diving #coralreefs

out of our open window
came back one night
to view the flame of
our new blue candle

she hides my book
of mysteries
in a misty moor
and asks me to use
deductive reasoning
to find it

a quiet walk
in the canyon
she asks whose face
do we want to see
carved on a rock
