Cow Camo [Senryū]

cow camouflage:
sitting in tall grass, stilly —
unsuccessful.

Sunflowers & Amaranth [Senryū]

sunflowers look up
& follow the sun;
while amaranth bows.

Lily Ring [Haiku]

ring of lily pads:
crowd around where the frog
plopped into pond.

Heed the Grass [Senryū]

the lawn blossoms:
attracting minds that never
paid heed the grass.

Hot Nights [Haiku]

Summer sunset
over the sprawling sea:
blackness brings no cool.

Roses & Weeds [Haiku]

roses in peak bloom,
but butterflies prefer
the weeds below.

Safe Distance [Haiku]

from the mountain,
one can see the city, but
not feel its chaos.

Wine Dance [Senryū]

the poet's wild dance
spills not a drop of wine,
but for down the throat.

Cat & Burglar [Senryū]

a cat / burglar
brashly slips through a window
in broad daylight.

Flashy Lascar [Senryū]

tiny lascar,
sitting on a small leaf,
not blending -- at all.
