Great Mormon
flaps its wings spastically,
yet hovers in place.

Claustrophobic [Haiku]

crawls into clock vine bloom;
freefalls into flight.

Balance [Haiku]

one-legged crow squats
to explode into flight;
false alarm!

Transitory [Haiku]

butterfly lands
on flower, pumps wings twice,
and sputters off.

Gen Z Stare? [Senryū]

perched magpie
stares into the distance.
gen z? perhaps.

Fish Wu Wei [Haiku]

in flowing water,
fish trio effortlessly
remains in place.

“The Crocodile” by Lewis Carroll [w/ Audio]

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
