under thick moss,
two tiny mushrooms cause
sunburst guitar-mind.

Dancing Dragon [Lyric Poem]
A dancing dragon winds
through streets of Chinatown.
Head pivots, nods, and turns
as it looks all around.
I hope its golden eye
will not catch sight of me
because its big, curved fangs
do not look so friendly.
You may say its paper,
and those teeth can't do harm,
but there's life in its moves
that's cause of my alarm.

Bird on a Wire [Haiku]
a bird alights
onto a windswept wire;
then seems to doze.

Smoke Rise [Haiku]
white smoke rises downriver:
backdropped by black mountains.

Enter the Haze [Haiku]
village breathes fresh air:
the last before stalks are burned /
the valley goes gray.

from the ornate trim

Stoic Tears [Haiku]
buffeted by wind --
hunched & leaning windward,
stoic tears roll.

Dark Advance [Haiku]
rain clouds advance:
an army that won't stop to

Mystery Door [Lyric Poem]
There's something about an old wood door --
ornate (but on some humdrum street)
that makes one wonder if it's more
than its neighbors -- something offbeat:
Perhaps, a portal into Hell,
a Speakeasy of unknown vice,
a smelly cheese smuggling cartel,
a school for wizards, imprecise.
