Playful Thief [Kyōka]
puppy guards
a stolen garment
it hopes owner
will attempt to retrieve,
so that play can ensue.

Dragonfly Eye [Lyric Poem]
The dragonfly strafing lilies
doesn't know how very silly
a bantam taller than a ram
seems to a ram tall as a filly.

24/7 Wakeup Call [Lyric Poem]
In a mountain village,
the roosters crow all day.
Hopes of mid-day napping
are dashed along the way.

Lean Street Kitty [Haiku]
lean street kitten:
face much older than its
scrawny body.

Migratory Highway [Haiku]
wild geese forage
beside the highway:
fueling for journey.

Winter View [Senryū]
with trees bare, one sees
what Spring won't reveal:
monkeys don't care.

Stalker [Kyōka]
stealthy raccoon
stalks up on trashcans -
as lion to gazelle.
having reached its target,
sends lid clattering down.

Cold Bayou [Haiku]
gators sleep:
buried in muddy banks;
a lonely bird flies.
Share on Facebook, Twitter, Email, etc.

bench beside trail:
vacant but for a gnawed
hickory nutshell.
