those rose hips  (  spih esor esoht  )

…

a sip from a hip flask

a whiff of hibiscus


hippocrates hiccups

a hipster hypnosis


a ship in a haystack

& sing with the hinnies


as yonder a hippy

is hip-hip hooraying


a groan in the whipped bones

& hippodrome home so


with mud in the blood

& a chipped hippocampus


a hymn in the wingspan

a hippogriff flapping


the hunger of hippos

& oh, those rose hips

...
