1.
After all this time
we are surprised that we are
surprised by monsters.
2.
Ephemeral love,
why in thy name do men pluck
beautiful flowers?

House votes for ground troops.
Then House votes to stop bombing.
Sterling leadership.

Rutabaga speaks.
Economy must get worse.
He's counting on it.

Doc, will you treat me?
Surely not; you'll have to pay
like all of the rest.

Doc, my snoring's loud;
it shakes me awake at night.
Sleep in the next room.

Twister can blow me
I have seen a real monster
Come down from the sky
8.
Tornado Alley
My mobile home's a magnet
Fujita Class Five
9.
A sticky brown ring.
A cheap Starbucks plastic lid.
Must have been mocha.

Who cares about grout?
Not the guy who lived here last,
Just perfectionists.

American rules
With missiles and guns in schools
What a big black pot
11.
Western thought in life
Eastern philosophy gods
Unity in life

Oil on a canvas
Color schemes in surrealism
Artist contented

Death in a pattern
Endless circle of virtue
Frantic for escape

Sun in a spiral
Earth on a stellar discourse
Continuation
15.
Locusts surround me
The wind shifts priorities
Deity observes
16.
Leaves fall with reason
Conspiracy supercedes
Snow begins to fall
17.
Sand gripping the beach
Children unleashing its clutch
The ocean provides
18.
Rain descending down
Sunbeams fracture through the day
The soil is fertile
19.
Men in suits conform
Rhetoric inaugurates
Politics alive
20.
Trickle and drip heard
Cloudburst felt on the way home
Pathos felt in drops
21.
Tree sways back and forth
Children swing with rope attached
Sounds of laughter heard
