We kayak where lives Hippopotamus,
And hope it isn't submerged, a-bottom us.
With kayak a quite crunchy hard shell --
Us: savory filling that screams and yells, --
We'll be a three-bite river taco to hell.

Chiaroscuro Clouds [Haiku]
at days end,
clouds not burning bright white
sink into black.

Wind Snitch [Free Verse]
The straight-stemmed turbines
are tattletales,
telling all about the stealthy
thief sneaking overhead.
With no clouds in the sky,
the wind could slip
out over the treetops,
and no one would know.
But the turbines turn,
slow as Taiji titans,
letting no movement
go untaxed.

Fly [Haiku]

buzzes around a cow --

Sunburst Fungi [Haiku]

Stoic Tears [Haiku]
buffeted by wind --
hunched & leaning windward,
stoic tears roll.
