Delta Drift [Haiku]

prow points seaward 
in widening channel;
geese pass overhead.

Little Dragon [Lyric Poem]

Ancient temple carved with features:
Beasts, men, gods and mythic creatures.
Imagine my surprise when I
Came face-to-face with this lil’ guy.

The lizard did his level best
To stay stock still with puffed-out chest.
To pass for a chiseled dragon,
But couldn’t keep its tail from waggin’.

Something Moves [Haiku]

something moves
through the tall grass --
mystery rump & ears.

Layover [Senryū]

migrating geese
on a layover
graze my lawn.

Chick Wrangling [Senryū]

mama chicken
struts with great confidence
for one wrangling chicks.

Sleeping Dog [Haiku]

waves crash on rocks;
distant lightening flickers.
dog sleeps - unstirring.

All Eyes [Haiku]

yellow fluff
clamped in a bird's beak -
now, the new leader.

Scurry [Haiku]

shore birds scurry,
evading rolling surf,
like playful kids.

Ostrich [Lyric Poem]

"Oh, beware the trotting Ostrich!"
I'd never, ever have thought which
Would be a real concern for me,
As I sit in cafes and libraries.
