Ninety-nine:

Esq. Filkins is not dead!

Someone has been telling stories.


A new species of Lillie has flowered.

When will this warm wave weaken?


The buckwheat is being cut.

Sand’s steam mill has commenced to grind.


Every kind of bug is copulating in our apple tree.

Black-eyed Susans are in bloom.


A dead bird has flown into our window

and lies in state among the flowers.


Mice are having the run of the place. 

We have been away on vacation for too long.


I’ve been writing the same poem for years.

You only just realized it.
