Tiger Riding for Beginners

Traveling Poet Philosopher & Occasional Wiseacre

a wasp & an ant
converge on a cloying plant
blithe on each other

the Feathertop sways,
as the river beside it glides
inexorably

a leaf falls,
and I feel the "Whee!" --
briefly

as the sun sets,
a ship moves out to sea
what's ocean dark?

pink trumpet flowers 
densely clustered above;
under foot next week

nesting birds
unmoved by their reflected 
doppelgängers

the city below
is subdued by fog,
the hill beams color

a park at night.
the shadows are darker
because of the light

the moth is still. 
is it alive or dead?
how patient am i?

one dandelion
stands alone at field's edge;
where are its friends?
