An old frog
croaks for his supper
in the crater
of a mud-puddle moon;
a black snake slithers
from the hollow of a log,
a red tail hawk circles overhead.

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!
