Little Dragon [Lyric Poem]

Ancient temple carved with features:
Beasts, men, gods and mythic creatures.
Imagine my surprise when I
Came face-to-face with this lil’ guy.

The lizard did his level best
To stay stock still with puffed-out chest.
To pass for a chiseled dragon,
But couldn’t keep its tail from waggin’.

Lanterns [Kyōka]

rows of lanterns —
a jack-o-lantern patch —
lights the temple
on a dark, rainy night;
rain splats on a tin roof.

Dusky Temple [Haiku]

under dusky skies,
a temple emits droning chants
and golden light.

Autumn Night [Haiku]

dry leaves skitter
past the temple censer,
colored by lantern.
