Six poems into "Postcards from Planet Death." I'm forcing myself to keep to five lines, which means wiseacre-y "archy and mehitabel" type stuff. I would be more haiku-like, but it's hard to talk about nature on Planet Death.

I think I will try some more five-line "genre" poems after this. I will probably pick up "Travels with the Sea Monster," although there really isn't a genre of fiction/art about travelling with sea monsters, unlike, say, space adventure.

Many BookThug titles arrived yesterday, and I appreciate their clean and simple design. Also I got a stuffed viking from elsewhere in Canada. He has a tiny rucksack for pillaging with.

I was thinking I would pull out my tomato plants this weekend, as they produce only infrequently, and then only for the delight of the squirrels, but one of them is trying to put out a last, solo tomato, far up and along on a slender stalk where it stands some chance of not being devoured by rodents. I will monitor its progress.
