grazing deer
pays hikers no heed:
too noisy for threat.

Moose Limerick
A tour bus sticker of mating moose
led a tourist to say, "What the deuce?"
"I just cannot deal
with a tour bestial,
and the memories that it might induce."

Frankfurt Limerick
A streetwalker from Old Town Frankfurt
had a proclivity for getting hurt.
'Twasn't violent clientele.
She tripped and she fell
where heel met cobble met tight skirt.

Drunkard’s Cask [Limerick]
A drunkard put a cask atop his car
so he wouldn't always have to find a bar.
Under that kind of weight --
The car's range: km - 8,
But his own range per liter wasn't that far.

Snail [Limerick]
The snail's friends and family were critics,
claiming -- despite being hermaphroditic:
so, with two ways to coit --
neither did it exploit,
but read books in its shell, strange & cryptic.

shines upon the city
while residents
walk shadow-dimmed streets
and fluffy clouds grow angry.

contemplates a CAW!
but is silenced
by a morsel clamped
in its beak.

a little blue flower spied
as all else blurs.

water rolls past
moss green rocks;
hikers pause in cool.

Tree Hell [Tanka]
pine cone wedged
in a rotten sleeper,
on derelict tracks,
may become a tree
and made into sleepers.
