Lichen?

Image
 Lichens occur in some of the most extreme environments on Earth— arctic tundra , hot  deserts , rocky coasts, and toxic  slag heaps . However, they are also abundant as epiphytes  on leaves and branches in  rain forests  and  temperate woodland , on bare rock, including walls and gravestones, and on exposed soil surfaces (e.g.,  Collema ) in otherwise  mesic habitats .

To catch a lizard

Image
All species of plants, animals, and insect grow well inFlorida's tropical climate. Rescuing spiders from my wife's shower has become a regular act of mercy (limited collateral damage). The minute eight legs hits the dirt, a lizard is there to feast. The current governor of Fla. would be considered the spider or the lizard?

This  poem emerged as a flirtation that hasn't gotten out of control. I have learned in the past twenty +  years the value of loving friends. A friend who is a lover is to often denied and becomes neither in time. I Made a Friend Today. We acted garish, strange and gay. What was on our minds, so foolishly sublime? I can't tell you! What I do know is this: I want to share those feelings grand again. Invite my soul, sins and all. Let's make company, no need to call. We'll jiggle, juggle, giggle and cry, Share stories, lips and lies. And always be friends as the crow flies. St. Petersburg Florida 1999  
Two young men meet and talk. One having completed a tour in Korea, the other unsure of his future. After listening to a short chapter in the life of a soldier, the future of the other becomes no less clear. But the sense of it all is reassuring. ALL THE THINGS WE WERE WE ARE SO LITTLE DOES TIME CHANGE TO MAKE US INTO WHAT WE'RE NOT OH GOD! REARRANGE St. Petersburg Junior College, St. Petersburg Florida 1964

A life clue

A young airman stands in his unit quadrangle while in charge of quarters and stares in awe at the early evening sky. Was what he was about to see a warning or a gift? The spectacular display of light inspired this next poem. Yellow hues of crisp green lightening Crackling past the moon. Life is not a storm nor wonder But an instant doomed. Keesler Air Force Base 1965 Biloxi, Mississippi

Styles and characters appear after years of absence.  Is not this scribble a look into a soul?
