Do nuthin' but leave.
Unstick yourself,
you're don here.
Unstuck and floating off,
winter makes an early exit.
Climbing hydrangea leaves
bud outside an opened window.

Excitement!, that open window,
murdered it again, and there's no love
to bring it back -- thoughts floating off.

(I screwed mine up, should have 2 words, if possible, from the poem above, sorry. River's followed the general rules.)
Duck
black clouds
follow hints of summer

Summer hints at being hot

spring pathways leading nowhere -

The Fauxku Choo Choo guidelines are so far back in the string (and so muddled by my incessant cuteness),
that I thought I'd post an abridged copy here for energetic newbies and memory-impaired oldies.

the poet tree grows best

filled with linguine,

Love and coffee, joy and alcohol;
ham, disaster, donuts, and ennui.
Scrambled words and eggs, its wherewithal;
just stick it with a fork, it's poetry.

Just take a fork and give a little prick
then wait and watch the liquid fat flow forth
until it stops - then, with the egg flip, stick
it on the page, and call it verse, henceforth.
