Fly [Lyric]

They say that each and every single fly
Has five thousand lenses in each eye:
A three-sixty view from toes to rump,
And thus I become the fly-swatting chump.

Bee [Lyric Poem]

I see the humble bumble bee, 
Or should I say I see its rump.
It snugged in, made itself cozy --
To get away it's far too plump.

Shadow Play [Haiku]

a butterfly
plays with shape & shadow
on a sunlit leaf.

Thistle [Haiku]

heavy-headed thistles
sway in the cow pasture,
bees read their motion.

Last Dance [Haiku]

tattered butterfly
comes to rest after a
spastic last dance.

Right-Side-Down [Haiku]

the butterfly
knows no upside-down, only
where the flowers are.

Dark Evening Brown [Senryū]

a Dark Evening Brown
flits about the woods on a
bright morning, Brown.

Hive [Haiku]

the wasp hive:
its crescent entrances
see steady to & fro.

Brief Respite [Haiku]

a butterfly 
lounges in the sun;
and then is gone.
