You’re interesting
Alluring, mysterious
You’re my morning fog

Honk if you Exist
_____________________________________
Honk honk geese fly in a vee southbound
If you stop and think it is profound
You gather family and friends around
Exist to trek wholly weatherbound

(A Bumper Sticker Poem)
Bumper Sticker Poems – a form I created, inspired by cento and golden shovel poetry, with the following guidelines:
- Using a bumper sticker as inspiration use the words in the bumper sticker as the first word in each line of the poem
- The theme of the poem may or may not have anything to do with the message of the sticker
- Title should be the words of the bumper sticker
- Should be rhymed
- 9 syllable lines
- Number of lines depends on number of words on the bumper sticker

Autumn Snowfall
_____________________________________
An autumn snowstorm has all the allure
Burgundy and golden leaves fall
With the unique snowflakes
A surprising
Artwork
Berserk
Mesmerizing
Looks like nature’s mistake
Colors mixed with no color at all
A collection of all nature’s grandeur
Consistently proving she’s not a bore
She just can’t help but to enthrall
Puts all the time she takes
Slowly devising
Field work
Fireworks
Emphasizing
The seasonal outbreaks
Bright sun, fall leaves, gray rains, snow squalls
An autumn snowstorm has all the allure.

Everyday I’m Shufflin’
_____________________________________
Did anyone notice the line
In the leaves as they shuffled through
Amazed at what water can do
As it cascades from the roofline
Nature’s artwork so sublime
Only for temporary view
Until new weather does ensue
A new masterpiece reflects time

Psithurism
_____________________________________
They say this word is obsolete
But I don’t know how that can be
When it creates a thought complete
About the woods surrounding me

Rainy Day
_____________________________________
Heavy chunky rainclouds rumble
For my bumbershoot I bumble
And raincoat
*
Lightning makes me feel humble
Into my rainboots I stumble
In rainfall
*
This weather makes others grumble
Into the puddles I’ll tumble
In rainstorms
*
During my commute I mumble
Liquid windshield world a jumble
The rainscape
*
Do not let the camera tumble
To catch the fleeting I fumble
A rainbow

Severe weather events
Flooding, blizzards, coating ice
Hurricanes, drought, pelting hail
*
Welcome weather events
Heatwave break, thundersnow, gentle soaking rains
Thunderstorms, inches of powder, clear starry skies
*
All of this happened … but not as you predicted

The Four Seasons
_____________________________________
Orion stands up in the sky
Silently unique snowflakes fly
Woodstove full and warmly glowing
With each moment days are growing, lips and skin dry
*
Up in the sky Leo now sits
New jeweltone flowers are sunlit
Songbirds are back to raise their young
Cleansing raindrops to dance among, warming a bit.
*
Scorpio rises up at night
Flowers everywhere glowing bright
Arm sleeves rolled up over shoulders
Lone bonfire ember smolders, cool sheets just right
*
Pegasus marks the shorter days
Trees put on colorful displays
Through fallen leaves hiking boots crunch
Birds and butterflies by the bunch migrate away.
