shot of the morning

I’m back up at Lake of the Woods for a week or so with my son Aaron. We’re winterizing his place, and he helps me stay on the straight and narrow; I’m starting my 6th week of sobriety today.

It’s a beautiful morning.

if it’s facts on the vax that you seek,

you must learn to discern doublespeak;

first designed to confuse,

it was soon deemed a ruse–

now most doctors use

tongue-in-cheek.

nature’s laughter is

all around us in the land

of sky-blue waters

my shadow

makes me out to be

a deranged

murderer

looks like i’m going to have to

put him on the list

auroras

the great cosmic screen

is lit up tonight

with a rippling green

ethereal light

like curtains unfurling

a dancing delight

swirling and whirling

all thru the night

lil bastard

are you smitten

with my kitten?

you’ll be bitten

if you pet her;

she’s a slasher

and a gasher,

she’s a trasher

if you let her.

now it’s thrilling

and quite chilling–

all the killing

skills she’s mastered;

she’s the rudest

little nudist–

and the cutest

lil bastard.

haiku 108

the leaves are falling

trees will soon show their bare limbs

they begin to blush
