autumn seahorse

winterization

i know what i like
one exceptional poem

all that i know to speak is plain & true
too much, not enough?

unexpected
an inch of collected rainwater
long-handled push broom
husband sweeps the boat cover
fiercely cinnamon
squishy Hot Tamales
generous handful
a four-alarm mouthful
Hitchcock Nature Center, the Loess Hills
