Noda City Limerick

There was an executive from Noda,
a member of the class, high bourgeois.
He was the big boss
over all the soy sauce,
but when he told people, they heard, "Blah, blah, blah!"

Fire Line [Haiku]

an orange streak
burns across the water —
brightly but briefly

To Prickly Pear Pluckers [Haiku]

the plucking of
prickly pears is at risk
of being pricked

Dive-Bombed [Haiku]

a walk in the park.
eyes glued to the rising sun,
a crow dive-bombs me.

Deep Blue [Haiku]

blue sky beach day.
 then rains slouch nearer,
  and blues deepen

Cebu Limerick

There was a clumsy tourist in Cebu
who broke Magellan's Cross, and sought wood glue.
"Oh, don't worry, son!
That's not the first one.
The original was lost... and was already broken, too."
