stealthy raccoon
stalks up on trashcans -
as lion to gazelle.
having reached its target,
sends lid clattering down.

Cold Bayou [Haiku]
gators sleep:
buried in muddy banks;
a lonely bird flies.

The Platypus. A motley assortment of elements with unexpectedly poor flight characteristics that yet can thrive in multiple environments.

River Taco [Lyric Poem]
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.

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

Baby Monkey Wisdom [Kyōka]
the fixed boulder
makes great shelter;
rolling boulders
make monkey paste:
how do baby monkeys know?

Squirrel Grandiosity [Lyric Poem]
A squirrel sat straight upon a dirt mound.
It could survey the woods for miles around.
Holding an acorn like a microphone,
The rodent seemed to be deep in the Zone.
Perhaps comedy stylings or folk songs?
But it just chewed its nut loud and long.

sparrow finds food
among well-trod cobbles,
then flits into blur.
