Wee Hours War [Lyric Poem]

The dogs were in a wee hours war:
Growling and snapping and howling,
Breaching night's plutonian shore,
And sweet dreams those barks were fouling.

What monstrous dreamland incursions
That yapping must have brought about.
Bucolic scenes turned perversions
Of bared teeth and menacing snout.

Budding [Senryū]

budding limbs:
vibrant growth unseen from
the city beyond.

Phantasm Avenue [Free Verse]

Bleary-eyed drunks
 stagger down the street;
Eyes drawn to
 orbs of color,
Looking up,
 the lanterns become
  planets.
Spinning spheres of
 vertiginousness
  that send tipsy chappies
   face first into terra firma.
