Out of the Box Crocs [Lyric Poem]

To find oneself within a crate -
 packed inside and labeled "Freight"
  seems like the worst that things can get,
   but then I peered out through the slit,
 and what a thing it was to see
  a croc's keen eye stare back at me.
 
It had so many freakin' teeth,
 both on the top and underneath!

I concluded the box 'tweren't so bad.
 To stay a while, I would be glad!

Dead-Eyed [Haiku]

dead-eyed crow,
 heat shimmers off rock...
  CAW!

 wings move erratically,
  head methodically.

a plump heron
walks on lily pads: my own
Personal Jesus.

Snail Wu Wei [Haiku]

a snail dangles,
 on a leaf, in its house,
   effortlessly.

Wasps [Haiku]

a hive of wasps,
each one frenetic:
do they never rest?

Snail & Centipede [Haiku]

in the contours
 of a stone-relief Ganesh:
  snail & centipedes.
