Unimagined Fungus

After a full year

of daily haiku entries

from the same backyard,


plus eleven years

of longer essays, one might 

expect that one had


exhausted all the

possible observations

on which to write. Wrong. 


Twenty some odd growths

show up overnight in lawn

Brown Dog Turd Fungi


So named not because

they grow on poo, but because

they resemble it


Apt name, methinks and

alarming to discover 

one late afternoon
