A spontaneous
trip to the zoo this morning.
We beat the hot crowds!
Green caterpillar
dropped onto october’s arm
She slapped, it stung her.
Two Galapagos
did their grunting mating game
while Lug and I watched.
Who knew the rhinos
made screeching noises walking?
No surprise that they stink.
The yellow, brown leaves
rippled the stream; the kids played
beneath the poplar.

Caterpillars sting?
Never heard of that before.
I’ll not tell my niece
She’s afraid of bugs.
Won’t take out the trash because
flies even scare her.
I try not to mind
but I have little patience
for her silly fears.

Labor Day camping
drifting down the cold river
on a plastic tube;
Dog swims beside me
children laughing, full of joy
savor summer’s end.
Autumn creeps slowly
too soon, bitter winter comes
I will miss the sun.

AT’s got it bad
Even ditched Sunday haiku
Life takes precedence

Hey, Suzanne, perhaps
you may be forgetting we
write at our pleasure.

I meant no offense
Sorry it came out that way
Read last line again
