Mountain Deception [Haiku]

I glance upward;
the mountain seems closer;
I feel colder.

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.

Strange Land [Haiku]

tropic reversal:
tawny grass of April;
lush green October.

Marmot [Lyric Poem]

I came across a chubby marmot
In some puffed up outer garment.
A fur coat over its furry coat?
Or mainlining from the gravy boat?

Reunited [Haiku]

water parts,
rounding a boulder,
then is reunited.

Elephant [Lyric Poem]

The mighty, mighty elephant
Isn't known for being elegant,
But you can't disbar him from your soiree,
And expect he'll show on moving day.

Buffalo [Lyric Poem]

Never punch a Buffalo!
They may seem dim and kind of slow,
But they hold a grudge to the last,
And - besides - you're not exactly fast!
