Looking like a masked bandito,
Raccoon dunks expired burrito.
It dips it not to get it clean
but to flavor it: Swamp Latrine.

A Walk in Winter Woods [Free Verse]
In Winter,
when blue sky shows
between the twiggy,
bare branches,
the forest is not so
claustrophobic,
but sound and wind,
alike,
carry through.
A mind can roam
between the bracing
breezes.

A Hint of Green [Haiku]

Great Blue Heron [Lyric Poem]
Skittish is the Great Blue Heron.
It feels when you're stopped and starin'
and will crisscross water like Charon
to keep you on the other side.

Operation [Free Verse]
Opening bleary eyes,
back on a cold, hard surface...
I know not where...
All I see,
All I know,
is a confluence of
sharp pointed tips:
hard points of unknown purpose
from which my brain attempts
to gauge a distance as
they come into razor clear
focus.
What hard robotic purpose
have these mean tines?

Pristine Garden [Kyōka]
Even in the
pristine palace garden,
gardeners refuse
to chase one stray, wind-blown leaf
that tumblers over pavers.

White Tiger [Lyric Poem]
The White Tiger is very cute,
napping in its white tiger suit.
But while awake, is hard to take:
Is it nonconformist, or fake?

Cheeky Crawler [Free Verse]
Does the bug
atop a wildflower
think itself master
of all it surveys?
