Fall Garden: Frowsy Blowsy

left to its’ own devices

a frowsy blowsy garden

merrily dances,

grabbing partners willy nilly

twisting, winding, climbing, grasping,

a delightful chaos of

weeds and intentions alike,

beautifully melding

into a last-ditch party,

all

unapologetically abundant

Haiku Moment: beauty lures

sky above reflects,

but what lies hidden beneath?

i imagine teeth

dark depths creep closer

exude malice, beware ye!

keep hands in the boat

sunshine beauty lures,

lurks; still, something is down there

looking up at me

P.S. No, I do not ever want a real alligator bag! Nor do I want to get any closer or spend time in the water.
