Non Kalendae

Stabbity. Stab. Stab.
You didn’t see that coming.
The Ides can be cruel.

Homage

Cherry. Minced meat. Peach.
Apple. Pecan. Key-lime pie.
Pumpkin. Blueberry.

Purple Party

Some lavender punch.
Two purple shirts, three more vests.
It was all blue shoes.

Springtime

Improving weather.
It makes me feel lazier.
At least there’s more sun.

[At least there’s more sun.]
[I guess that’s okay.]
[Break out the flip-flops.]

Junior Parents’ Monday

Went to get my clothes.
Some mom folded my laundry.
The sweats are still damp.

Origins

Starfish have organs.
But we don’t come from starfish.
Like shrews, we’re mammals.

Theodoric

Build the stone walls up.
Fell the timber; cut it down!
We start this tonight.

The Neighboring Classroom

“Hello. Hey, guys. Hey!
It sounds really fun in here.”
Called back, “Thank you, sir.”

A father

He replied by mail.
After all these years, sisters!
Take a deep breath. Read.

Traditional

The quiet moon stares.
A can of sardines brimming.
Deftly the cat drowns.
