Pluto, biggest ice
in the Kuiper belt. Can't compete
in size with Eris.

Spirit silent, Troy.
Still listening, spring has come
Goodbye, poor rover.

90-day mission
lasted more than seven years -
Opportunity

Haiku

1/23 p23
One dog wakes and shakes,
Whines in the dark of pre-dawn,
Grumbles for morning.

1/23 p24
Stance. Fletch, nock, clip, back.
Hold straight, pull straight, shoulders down.
Anchor, aim, release.

1/24 p25
Hard-dried paw prints crowd
Bounds of the gouged hollow where
Water blocked our path.

1/26
Fourty-five minutes
Later, she yelps, “Oh my god!”
It worked. Heart lets go.

1/28
Before the sun, fog
Hides all except this green field,
One dog, and sparrows.

Bird lands on the end
of the twig. It droops, bounces.
Bird hops farther in.

1/29
Tail stands straight up, stiff.
Hackles raise, low growl from jaws.
Legs race straight at me.

1/31
Windows 7 errors
Virtual Private Network
Connection doesn't

2/1
Heathen strip-club bro
trolling facebook for mormons
baiting for outrage

Facebook Odekirks
vary some: boozers, mormons,
athletes and dog-ones
