Impersonating Flowers

Rated PG, these poems loosely chart an adolescence moving swiftly into middle age experienced without parental guidance. As the poet morphs from poodle to petal, finding solace in Haiku (and other profound decorative forms) he considers a timeless revisionist anecdote When he was just a little girl he said to his mother, What will I be? Impersonating Flowers answers some of the questions his mother was afraid to ask.
