Brisk Morn [Haiku]

brisk morn dragonfly:
too cold to move, or dead?
unmoved by footfall.

A Day’s Last Gasp [Haiku]

warm pre-dusk light
glows through yellow blossoms;
sundown sneaks nearer.

Piano Mind [Haiku]

snow has fallen.
cars of many colors, all white:
a piano-esque lot.

Turbulent [Haiku]

wind gusts & rain
turn the placid pond
turbulent.

Swamp Deer [Lyric Poem]

Everyday at an appointed hour
the Swamp Deer takes an anti-shower.
It hooks its antlers into the muck,
and with a twist and shake mud is chucked
upward, where it rains down on the beast.
It's stinky and slimy, but it's cool, at least.
