Honey, when we get to Coolville I would like to stop.

Stop where? We stop all the time.

You know, wee wee.

Like little piggy went?

One Single Impression: Empty

Friend

Merlot is my comfort
I shall not want
Though I am old and blue
There when I need


My glass is near empty
I shall not want
For sure there is some more
Where that came from


My thoughts once bad dissolve
Night's fright is calmed
A friend may come to call
None ever writes


And if our bottle's dry
We shall not want
For sure there are some more
Where this came from

Dr K pondered in his cell

Could it be possible? His best cash customer come back to life?

No way—must be a Halloween prank

Eeow!

Singed and black
She once wore red
Luckily she's alive
Lives with me—pays no rent
Once in a while for old time's sake she guards my door

One Single Impression: Beginning

. . . .. Love Began

Love began in May one bright sunny day
He said and she said and then all quiet
Quiet months worrisome months mother's wait
Come due time God's small miracle to obey

Love stayed on his tiny mouth opens wide
He said and they said hush dear little one
Your belly's full what mother can provide
To nourish you fine animals have died

Love cycle ended parents did their best
He said and she said go do what we've done
Big enough and learned there's no need to guess
Again God's time dear one you leave the nest

Now you have heard love grows in cyclic leaps
Two are joined as one love and parenthood
Small beginnings all preplanned say the least
Instinct God's gift to man and fowl and beast

One Single Impression: Connoisseur

The Connoisseur
knows it all

connoisseur reports
when judged by its taste alone
a bean is a bean

raving and ranting
epicurean he is
simple beauty missed

Notes:
1. Pictured is a pan of baked beans. I thought it was neat to intersperse those large white lima beans, often called butter beans, with the rest. They were mostly taken as I was near the end of the food line.
2. (generally the second definition) Connoisseur: A person of informed and discriminating taste: a connoisseur of fine wines.

Cody scans his prints, "Yes, tiny front door. Now the cave." Gingerly he approachs, "Smells bad!"
Bats flash—thousands. The rabbits laugh.

One Single Impression: Cocoon

Cocoon in Use

We weave our webs with gleeful pride,
cute little nests for our old age.
When mine was done I climbed inside
and closed the door here in my cage.

Its dark in here and I can sleep.
Never again to see sun's burn?
Little do I know but down deep
I'm feeling I can not return.

I will sleep now hanging up high;
wish I believed reincarnate.
It matters not for I will die.
Be like my mom* who gave her egg?

* Mom was the butterfly who laid the egg from which he hatched as a worm. She always dies before her worm baby hatches.
Here is a cute animated illustration about the life cycle of a butterfly; and
here is a diagram showing that life cycle in a block diagram.
