Remember: copyright exists. It just does.
I'm hoping that the scissor-bot that edits my "welcome" page has let you read this in time - explaining some totally archetypal, unnecessary redundancies and tenses which require more characters than the more straightforward ones of everyday speech - in case you have a slow
connection.
THE TREE
Played with the f stop's invisible hand
Hoping to capture my view of the land
Worse than not seeing the beets for the borscht
Must be not seeing the tree for the forest

MOOD MOSS

If that's what you really are

Lord High Pack Rat's lost his fez

MASTER PLAN
What makes the lichen grow this way
A stitch toward tapestry each day
As if there were a master plan
That's wielded by some random hand?

SAP
While we were hunkering down inside
And straight line winds tore through town
Airborne debris took its toll outside
Sap's evidence trickling down

ONE LAST ACORN
Go on and hit the snooze, Buster
Hibernate some more
I've scoured every oak cluster
This is all I saw

DRY CREEK BLUES
How the sunlight unwraps the dormant hues
It's peeling back the snow
If it weren't for a case of dry creek blues
Our mountain stream would flow

Nice to hear from you. Comments like yours make a great start to the day and I'm grateful you made the time. Thanks.
If you go to their publisher's submissions page, there is the most unambiguous guideline given: "Your Submission - Note: We do not accept rhyming poetry or cliches about your soul."
Hence the title of this self-published work.
Or as my mentor and hero, Bugs Bunny, often says: "you know this means war."
