Quiet [Haiku]

pink blossom drops
in still morning air
beside a quiet lake.

Wetland [Haiku]

narrow channel,
waving reeds on each side,
boat glides blindly through.

Orbits [Haiku]

spherical blooms,
arrayed like planets,
bees zip through.

Jacaranda [Haiku]

Jacarandas bloom:
thousands of miles from home,
but no less purple.

Gust [Haiku]

gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?

Dragons [Lyric Poem]

I see Dragons on the walls
Of temples and market stalls.
From Shanghai to London way,
I've seen them by night and day.
I've seen them skewered by St. George
And belching flame like a forge.
I saw one once in Baku,
But never saw one in a Zoo.
