I was inspired to do some writing about the weekend--in my car! Mostly I wasn't driving while I did it, so don't worry! I'm afraid to post the article since it might conflict with S & C, and the novel is too long, but I had fun writing these!

Haikus
(not all of these are about nature, but I’m calling them haikus anyway!)

Road to Conception
turbines to harness the wind
sentries of white steel.


One O Two River
Why is it that you can’t be
River One O Three?

rural Missouri
passing drivers say hello
two finger salute

Family memories,
Wicked justice, classroom fun.
Teachers write of this.

Driving the highway
With a killer in cold ink.
Made it home—alive!


Six Word Novels

Fingers raised as cars pass, howdy.

Quiet contemplation, boys camp, respite revised.
