Skink Limerick

The reptile known as the Five-Lined Skink
 is silent, but not as covert as you'd think.
   From the front end it blends,
   but its bright blue back end
 catches the eye no matter how slowly it slinks.

Fish Drift Relativity [Haiku]

"the fish's world
 is always in drift,"
  thinks I, from the bank.

Green Pond [Haiku]

the green pond
 reflects the green world
  in its own hue. 

Still Eye [Haiku]

along the seashore,
 everything is in motion,
  but the crow's eye.

Cold Moon [Haiku]

full moon
over Fishtail Mountain-
breath swirls in cold air.

Elephantine March [Free Verse]

The herd is on the march.

They lumber with slow
      determination. 

The young achieve   
       playful swagger,
        but aren't allowed
         too wide of the line. 

I wonder whether they're
       going someplace good?

Predator at Rest [Haiku]

from the shade
 of yonder trees,
  something watches.

Little Yellow Flowers [Haiku]

i look beyond,
 but see only the flowers
  in the foreground.
