hang thick and low, but -yet-
 the sun burns through

There once was a quite sizable bear --
yet more imposing for its shaggy hair.
"If I took a shave,
I'd better fit my cave, 
but hunters would laugh, not beware."

wind chimes hang stiffly,
as leaves sway

An old man got caught up by a parade.
Street after street, he was barred by blockade.
But he didn't lose poise
'til walking plush toys
convinced him LSD was being covertly sprayed.

seem no less solid 
than gray granite

Gaucho Limerick

There once was an Argentine gaucho
who loved to lie around on the couch. Oh!
When his wife would protest
it would disturb his rest.
"I'm goin'! Jeez, stop bein' such a grouch - Ho!"

Weightless Birds [Free Verse]

tweets & cheeps

i hear them all:
dainty expressions 
of tiny birds

i hear them amid
the neck-stretched caws
of jungle crows
& amid
the circling 
screech hawks

weightless birds:
flitting & jumping, 

flitting with wings
blurred to invisibility 
&
jumping:
bounce - bounce - bounce
