Tiger Riding for Beginners

Traveling Poet Philosopher & Occasional Wiseacre

The mountain road is sometimes flat,
   but it's not ever straight.
 It winds through woods -- so deep and dark --
   but where spotlights await.

Hanuman Langur
 mimics a lounging housecat;
  then paws at nothing.

brightly-attired
 forage-hauling woman
  vanishes in fog.

fine powdery snow
 fills ground around grass:
  frigid Winter day.

fake snow from
 fountain spray in wind;
  the cold is real.

solo bird flies
 over sprawling waters
  with upside down mate.

pale orange skies
 over dark silhouetted
  shadowlands.

orange-fringed
 dark clouds drift in blue skies
  just before dusk.

clustered armada
 of ducks drift across
  open water.

Winter storm
 ices over acorns:
  branches hang low.
