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!

Zebra [Lyric Poem]

The zebra's form of camouflage
Only works with an entourage.
The Savanna isn't black and white,
But with herds it's hard to see where to bite.

Giraffe [Lyric Poem]

There are few things so useless that
They're as useless as a Giraffe’s hat.
I guess that’s why you never see
One in a bowler, fez, or beanie.

Flower Fall [Haiku]

rain-laden blossom
falls… lands with a sound,
in the mud.

Slow Convergence [Tanka]

morning valley hike:
i slowly walk toward
the sunny-side
as the sunny-side walks
toward me - slower still.

Algae Patterns (Haiku)

swirled striations 
in the pond algae
reflect floating clouds.
