Gust [Haiku]

gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?

Slim Pickings [Haiku]

buffalo grazes
on stalk stubble
after harvest.

Conversation [Senryū]

two wading birds
face each other so that
their reflections can chat.

Oblivious [Haiku]

crows turn to threat:
while pigeons remain
oblivious.

Riderless [Senryū]

riderless horses
race across the pasture:
finish line unknown

Panther [Lyric]

The panther is a scary cat:
Hardcore Hellcat primed for combat.
Except - that is - I have to say
The twenty hours it sleeps per day.

Pelican Ambiguity [Senryū]

a pelican
builds a nest, or makes
a peace offering?

Crocodile Wu Wei [Lyric Poem]

Sunning on the shore,
As in days of yore
When the ancient beast
Stood its ground to feast,
Waiting for one to crawl
Near its gaping maw...
Then, SNAP!
CRUNCH! - Crunch - crunch...
