WILDERNESS AND WILD
Patience
patience
listening now
crunch soon
crunch soon
doe calling
buck scrapping
buck walks out
safety clicks
combustion
muzzle flash
penetration
lung failing
blood spill
running away
tracking crunch
foot steps
dragging carcass
slain stretching
slain breaking
skin peeling
water rinse.
Grilling.

2 Ways to Look at Snow
1. Vanilla
ice cream
2. My uncle
getting frostbite
and losing
two toes.

Ode to my short shorts
My short shorts shipped straight
from online $39.50 plus tax
with fabric like fresh leather
you wrap my tight toned legs so well.

Cheesecake
I’m in cheesecake.
At the corner of cream cheese
and graham cracker crust.
I’m attending the Fork and Platters anonymous meeting.
First I swing by my house and grab my eating
pants for dinner later.
Bailey Schrepfer
Watermelon
The hard, green shell keeping the pink
mush inside is like a mind keeping
feelings inside.
Shaelyn Myers
Limerick
There once was a town called Chihuahua
Where many held a brouhaha
But sadly some guy
Got a fork in his eye
For stealing somebody’s asada.
