Drugs expire, men too

Berry fields

At the berry fields the dirt is hard-packed. Yet on top is a layer of superfine dust.

I kick off my shoes
the powdery talc poofs up
Around my footsteps

NaPoWriMo - 4-3-17



Willie


The girls came
along. Bonded.
Easy and 
Timid. We
Thought we knew
How to raise 
Cats.
Then you. Too
Soon. Too
Young. We tried
Our old ways.
One size
Doesn't fit all.




From a NaPoWriMo prompt that asks for  Kay Ryan-esque poem with short,tight lines, rhymes interwoven an animal and a philosophy.     http://www.napowrimo.net/day-one-it-begins/
