Free, No Cost MINT
outdoors a fresh new peppermint
free this coin
direct from God's mint
COUNCIL OF SQUIRRELS
After removing the nuts
from the streets
the Council of Squirrels
sat in a Circle
and decided how many
acorns
would go for baby
squirrels' winter food
and how many acorns
would as oaks be reborn
ALMOND THICKET
He placed no fence of pickets
round his growing almond thicket
He wanted to give as freely
as the sun and so he gave away almonds
with no purchased ticket
FEE NIX PHOENIX
When he forgave his debts
and his fees he did nix
his depression lifted
he became the Phoenix
for he knew
A cloud passes over the
sunny heart of God when
someone asks for money
for a spiritual service
PLUM TREE
The tree's leaf plumes
dangle with plums
.. even for plutocrats
