lean & scratched up:
stray cat stares at a leaf
as if it's ham.

Safety First [Haiku]
stony fortress,
moated: turtle stretches neck
out to sniff the air.

Acorn [Senryū]
startled squirrel drops
its nut; so sad for it, but
we all get a tree.

Mobile Home [Common Meter]
Turtle exits its hiding place
beneath a rotten log.
Its shell snags on that old, dead wood
he drags the log along.
Does he know that he's double-shelled?
He seems so unaware.
When he breaks free, he gains no speed --
just crawls on like he don't care.

ducks jump off a ledge,
bobbing once in pond water,

Ignorance is Bliss [Lyric Poem]
A turtle swims to water's edge,
and finds before him a steep bluff.
He makes himself a solemn pledge,
"I'll scale this cliff, however tough!"
Struggling over the toilsome rim,
he sees another wall of stone
stands just ahead - tormenting him.
"Just one more, I'll not piss and moan."
If he could know that it was stairs,
He'd have some turtle curse words to share.
