Travelers [Haiku]

ducks & geese
cluster in a shallow stream:
layover lounge.

Bird at Work [Haiku]

bird at work:
flitting branch to branch,
seeking perfect seeds.

Urban Forest [Haiku]

deer eyes walker.
jumbo jets scream overhead,
but it heard stick crack.

Golden Yellow [Haiku]

lurch & stop:
 the bee moves erratically
  amid yellow blooms.

Limerick of the Portrait of Felix Rey

Van Gogh's doctor, a man named Felix Rey,
 was given a portrait -- much to his dismay.
   While Rey didn't grouse,
   the pic patched his henhouse,
 but it survived and 's worth millions today!

Lily Pac-Man [Senryū]

Pac-Men multiply:
 sought by too few upside-down 
  lily “ghosts.”

Cross Movement [Haiku]

water flows - mutely -
 below the train which roars 
  through, hourly

Self Portrait [Common Meter]

So many historic figures 
 whose look we think we know.
  Did Jesus of Nazareth sport
   hippie hair & a halo?

Perhaps, he did have quite long hair
 but not the tawny blonde
  of which so many "portraitists"
   seemed to be quite fond.

The Shakespeare that we recognize 
 is drawn from memory.
  Kings oft declared true depiction
   a form of treachery. 

Past commoners' appearances 
 are lost in bygone days.
  We know Van Gogh from a mad mind,
    and know him thirty ways. 

Do you know whose look we do know?
 Every teen now alive.
  There're pics from every angle
   stored on redundant drives. 

So Many Eyes [Haiku]

one butterfly:
with so many eyes
that cannot see.

Bowed Flower [Haiku]

weary sunflowers
turn their backs on the sun:
heads bowed.
