the forest
a green ocean
her leafy tide revealing
mushroom seashells

It Was The Quietest Of Songs
listen for
the music of
the mushroom accordion
I Came Across
a woodland shrine
of birch bark and mushroom
with a fern leaf offering
humble and holy

gazing on the mushroom bloom
everything is answered
nothing can be explained

mushroom scutes
on the old oak

how else
to reach the top
of the rainbow?

hang their hats
on the birch
Trick Or Treating In The Woods
the oak tree
offered
candy corn
Wood From Wood
and so the mushroom
replicates
the tree’s rings of life
Home Sprouts
from the nourishing earth
a village
of tiny homes
Microscopic Astronauts
the ground grew
a space station ready
to launch spores into flight
Emergence
the forest
ever birthing
new life
Golden Goblet
for the fairies banquet
fresh rain water served
with a leaf stem straw
Storing Knowledge
the wisdom of the woods
upon a mushroom shelf
Call Of Attention
of color rises
from the forest floor
Cousins
so blooms
the wood rose
Wearing Rings Like Saturn
emerges
another universe
Wander
where the big mushrooms
grow
Birch Bark Mushroom
decomposition
a transition of
sustenance to self
Frog On The Toadstool
I’ll do
what I want
is his only thought
The Stone Mushrooms
aspire
to be added to
stone soup
All Dressed Up

of blue shelf mushroom
tree stump’s petticoat
Decay’s Bouquet
stump blooms
a wood rose
flowering of fungi
Astronomy of Mushrooms
staircase of shelves
brings Mars
into reach
White Castle
in the white castle
resides the white mite
awaiting his parasite princess
Frills And Polka Dots
found
on the ground
dropped forrest accessory
Mushroom Moon
amongst an astronomy of moss
I found the moon
on the forest floor
Exhibit
an abstract installation
adorned the old oak tree
the mushroom’s artistry
