PROMPT: Favorite Animals
Never elevate your opinion of a particular animal above the rest. I used to think quite highly of monkeys, and then one — of the kleptomaniac variety — stole my sunglasses and mocked me from a high tree like a cowardly school bully.
Isn’t it enough to know that all animals are better than people.

cattle graze:
each step sinking deeper —
lured by lush green.

PROMPT: Pet
It’s a friend who may not understand what you’re going through, but who will never talk… and sometimes eagerly helps with the digging when you’re burying the body. Try finding a human friend like that.

Feral [Haiku]
the pasture sprawls:
once dull & docile cows
now have feral eyes.

Duck Raft [Haiku]
a raft of ducks
glides as a dense pack --
then one goes solo.

Different Wavelengths [Lyric Poem]
The parrot stands, as if jilted.
The chipmunk sniffs, as if intrigued.
Parrot behaves ever so stilted.
Chipmunk is just hungry and fatigued.

Bats [Haiku]
ancient temple:
bats strafe ambulators;
wing flaps puff on bare scalp.
