Concupiscent
A pragmatic word
Hiding passions, desires in
Four stern syllables
A Haiku Poem – more technically a 5-7-5 poem as traditionally haikus have a cutting word and reference the seasons.
A Vocabulary Poem – I write these poems when I come across words I don’t know to help me remember their definition.
You’re interesting
Alluring, mysterious
You’re my morning fog
A haiku
A metaphor poem
Dissertation
Recently asked to sum up my proposed dissertation research in a haiku, to help maintain focus. Here it is (Of course subject to change at any moment):
What do gardens have
to do with Quakers? What are
their untold stories?
When we met you gave
Me a bouquet of red flags
The most perfect gift
Upon Eating a Lychee

Root System Morphology of Oregon White Oak on a Glacial Outwash Soil

Deep tap root with fire
And poorly drained soils, gravel
Creates laterals

A Sciku
Missing green attire
Under the blue skin of earth
Bare white bones exposed

(A Haiku)
Like the pine needles
Quieting every footstep
On the asphalt path
*
A long walk outside
Quiets the noise in my mind
In only moments
*
Needled evergreens
Buffer the sounds of the road
The park is peaceful
*
Gone from the office
Far from the water cooler
And daily grumbles
*
A needed lunchtime escape
Prepared for the afternoon

Urban Gardeners

Swiss urban green thumbs
Go green for food, social, health
Reasons, wealth matters
