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]
fly in Summer,
buzzes around a cow --

Sunburst Fungi [Haiku]
under thick moss,
two tiny mushrooms cause

Dancing Dragon [Lyric Poem]
A dancing dragon winds
through streets of Chinatown.
Head pivots, nods, and turns
as it looks all around.
I hope its golden eye
will not catch sight of me
because its big, curved fangs
do not look so friendly.
You may say its paper,
and those teeth can't do harm,
but there's life in its moves
that's cause of my alarm.

Bird on a Wire [Haiku]
a bird alights
onto a windswept wire;
then seems to doze.

Smoke Rise [Haiku]
white smoke rises downriver:
backdropped by black mountains.
