bloom-laden Cherry
tree attracts no viewers;
the last blossom does.

Fly [Haiku]
fly in Summer,
buzzes around a cow --
dodging whip-tail.

Dancing Dragon [Lyric Poem]
A dancing dragon winds
through streets of Chinatown.
Head pivots, nods, and turns
as it looks all around.
I hope its golden eye
will not catch sight of me
because its big, curved fangs
do not look so friendly.
You may say its paper,
and those teeth can't do harm,
but there's life in its moves
that's cause of my alarm.

Bird on a Wire [Haiku]

onto a windswept wire;

Temple Bells [Haiku]
Enter the Haze [Haiku]

the last before stalks are burned /
the valley goes gray.

from the ornate trim

Stoic Tears [Haiku]
buffeted by wind --
hunched & leaning windward,
stoic tears roll.
