Dragonfly Eye [Lyric Poem]

Photograph taken at Don Mueang Temple in the north Bangkok suburbs, features waterlilies in the fore and guardian statues in the background.
The dragonfly strafing lilies 
doesn't know how very silly
a bantam taller than a ram
seems to a ram tall as a filly.

24/7 Wakeup Call [Lyric Poem]

Photograph taken from Wat Pa Phon Phoa at Luang Prabang, Laos.
In a mountain village,
the roosters crow all day.
Hopes of mid-day napping
are dashed along the way.

Winter Rooster [Senryū]

winter morn:
rooster starts crowing
way too early.

Roosters of Youth [Haiku]

when I was a child,
roosters aggressively charged;
 now: they flee, clucking.
