Into the Badlands

There was no other way to go

to elude the enemy

pursuing him relentlessly

over the barren plateau

but into the badlands

with the lizards, snakes

and scorpions

on the black sands

of the desperate desert

where most animals struggle

to stay alive

with every effort

there came pain

like an unwanted visitor

to his perilous trek

through hostile terrain

seeking to be free

with every step

of the weary way

leading to liberty

A Grunion Run

a grunion run

is only fun

when the sun

drops out of the sky

and the moon

shines on slivery fish

that catch your eye

wiggling on the beach

with their shiny scales

spawning frantically

before the searchers

come sloshing by

Blue Sky

The sky was an Azore blue

a rich and relaxing hue

the sunbathers

knew what to do

on such a fine day

they basked in the sun

and watched the children play
