Views of NatureTHREE POEMS BY BOB PAVLIK
[Haiku]Giant SequoiasDrop limbs as large as small trees Damn! That's gotta hurt!
Nature v. ManA lupine shrieks at a hiker passing by"Watch where you're going! Can't you see I'm setting seed? Sheesh!" A snail flips the bird to a walking shoe As it rushes past Just as the mollusk gives full force To its obscene gesture The leather craft disappears over the earth's horizon "T h e y ' r e a l w a y s in t o o m u c h o f a h u r r y T o b e t o l d t o f u c k o f f," says the snail, slowly. Tree squirrels, with impeccable aim and timing, fling pinecones From a hundred feet high onto unsuspecting wanderers below. Birds discharge cloachal spatters on the elegantly dressed and disheveled alike Mule deer sacrifice their lives In a brutal war with the Volvo and the Suburban Anyone who says nature is gentle Has not been paying attention. |
