Alien Fish

Sunset gives the clouds a pink outline.
Shapes appear wherever you look.
This one has the head of a fish and the body of a bird.
Wait... it doesn't have any legs. 

One and a Half Inch Delight.

Scarlet scales with creamy dots in the middle.
A sweet savory swirl of flavor.
Juicy tender meats.
Your finger gets pink just by touching it.
This is a true strawberry.

Blob

4:49 in the afternoon
and I've barely done anything today.
Mostly I've just read a book.
About an inch to be precise.
BLOB DAY.

Mr. Frog

Two days ago.
On a road trip. 
We stop at a restroom.
I wash my hands in the sink.
A frog pokes his head out of the overflow drain.

The Poofy Pancake

Big fat gray cat 

laying on the hearth.

Looks like a pancake.

A Deceiving Berry

Out in the garden
I look around surveying my domain
of sprouts, weeds, worms,
and other garden life forms.
My gaze jerks to a standstill. 
I stare intently, 
crouching,
searching,
I pounce on and pluck a deliciously red strawberry.
Turning it over, inspecting it,
 I find that it's white on one side.
Oh well I say and plop the tart berry in my mouth.

An Afternoon Stroll... or Not.

Walking with my family
down our long driveway
skipping along speedily.
Leap over a puddle.
Dash to the next one.
Screech to a halt -
this one is WAY too big.

The Mighty Jungle Cat

There is a mighty jungle cat,
prowling through tall grasses 
now he's dashing up a tree
giving it long gashes,
no that isn't quite the truth 
not that I mean to lie 
but it is just my brothers cat 
chasing a magpie.
