Loose Leaf Notes

1. Some say ‘home is where you hang your hat.’ I say it’s where you hang your bathrobe.

2. I don’t know what kind of spider the above is, but there’s been a lot of strange insects showing up on Facebook lately like THIS bagworm, a moth that spins its cocoon in its larval life, decorating it with bits of plant material from the trees on which it feeds.

3. And THIS venomous saddleback caterpillar that looks like it has a horse racing blanket on its back.

4. The ‘Dead Man’s Fingers’ Fungus Looks As Creepy As It Sounds, And HERE Are 6 Pics To Prove It.

5. I won at least one float race at The Great American Croc Race HERE.

6. THIS poem sounded better in my head.

7. Speaking of Spiders, Don’t Even Try It HERE.

8. I’ve swam more at our local pool this summer than any other year. It closed on Labor Day and felt like a break-up.

9. In the last fling of summer / bleeding hearts flutter / Ladybugs hug / and butterflies stutter / Songbirds lament / the last rush of lush / while hummingbirds hover / over leftover nectar… From The Hum of Summer 

10. Whether hummingbirds or butterflies, summer flies by.

11. Got Moves? HERE.

12. My poem “Poem on the Back of His Envelope” was recently published in Winedrunk Sidewalk: Shipwrecked in Trumpland HERE.
