EACH DAY A NEW WORD / EACH DAY A NEW PIECE - ON HIATUS. It has been over five years of writing a daily poem and I needed a bit of a break. I'm not sure what the next step for this project will be. In the meantime, I am reviewing the poems written to compile into a new anthology. Thank you for joining me on this journey and enjoy the poetry.

hobnob
mud stained hem
soppy shoes
frizzy braids unraveling
as small hands grip
a democratic bouquet
of weeds dressed in finery
hobnobbing with fancier flowers
no hierarchy to grubby fingers plucking
beautiful botanic subjects
serenaded by maniacal chuckling
from a totalitarian tot
subjected to the horror
of a dimpled despot
ordering dandelion executions
with a mighty gust
from puffed out cheeks
eyes crossed to watch
glorying their dissolution
