rhythmic prose
— A farming couple who despise cats accidentally bring home two from the shelter, then discover the resulting litter makes perfect garden tillers.
— A camping scene unfolds through rhyming verse as the speaker reflects on fire, forest, and the cyclical nature of outdoor experience from night to dawn.
— A playful, energetic poem captures the exhausting joy of endless banter, with words crashing together like the conversation itself until silence finally arrives.
— Dawn in winter Asheville: a solitary observer watches snow fall, trees dance in wind, and contemplates ancestors' fear before the household wakes.
— Morning light and wind become a meditation on listening to silence — mountains, birds, voices, and things unheard speak through a bedroom window.
— A car journey through an Indiana wind farm becomes a meditation on movement, shadows, and the hypnotic rhythm of spinning turbines.
— A child studies their reflection in a mirror, cataloging physical features and noticing how the image mimics every movement and emotion.
— A lament for lost beauty — stars replaced by planes, fish by empty oceans, trees by barren ground — asking where the world's wonder has gone.
— A rhythmic poem cycles through the seasons, from winter's wind to spring's hum to summer's speed, ending where it began with winter returning.
— A meditation on time as both enemy and friend, resolving to embrace each day's activities rather than mourn its passing.
