Swamp Deer [Lyric Poem]

Everyday at an appointed hour
the Swamp Deer takes an anti-shower.
It hooks its antlers into the muck,
and with a twist and shake mud is chucked
upward, where it rains down on the beast.
It's stinky and slimy, but it's cool, at least.

Wetlands Wildflowers, No. 2 [Haiku]

a swamp, 
beautifully adorned,
poses for pics.

The Bog Lost Boot [Tanka]

bog lost boot
sucked from the slogging foot
of a hapless soul
to pull the boot up
would just drive the man down
