When you've gone under
a thousand bridges,
and never come across
a Troll...
You have to wonder
whether the Troll is you.

Bright Autumn [Free Verse]
I want a bright Autumn --
brisk & clear.
I want a colorful Fall,
not one in which cold gray
blanches all brilliant shades.
I want a windy Autumn:
full of movement that
swirls & lifts anything
that's light enough.
I want an Autumn that
draws people outside,
not one that pens them.
I don't mind a bite of cold
as long as I can see white
clouds float through blue skies.

Deceased [Free Verse]
clouds drift over
the cemetery -
unseen by all those
upturned eyes.
What a glorious day

Stalker [Kyōka]
stealthy raccoon
stalks up on trashcans -
as lion to gazelle.
having reached its target,
sends lid clattering down.

Classing It Up [Lyric Poem]
One can't class up a Porta Potty
With French or fancy works of art.
For each is like a ghetto squatty
Where one fears to sit... or even fart.
