flowers

flowers bronzed with blossoms of garnet
verdigis tinging the copper leaves
age will not wither nor summer's heat
repaying beauty's eternal debt

why do we see
value in patterns
random but somehow
repeating their lives

fractal equations
stored on a hillside
mirrored in clouds
call to our minds
( thanx Flower Garden thanx )

peace de resistance

mice are sneaking in and out
with canisters of fire
burning down the shop and house
and arousing the exterminator's ire.

somehow they began to fight
instead of keeping quiet
but there is something not quite right
when tiny rodents riot

although i'm sure they're feeling proud
they'll soon find out why it's not allowed
