Grasshopper [Haiku]

Grasshopper rests on a leaf;
Untroubled by undulations.

Layover [Senryū]

migrating geese
on a layover
graze my lawn.

All Eyes [Haiku]

yellow fluff
clamped in a bird's beak -
now, the new leader.

Scurry [Haiku]

shore birds scurry,
evading rolling surf,
like playful kids.

Ostrich [Lyric Poem]

"Oh, beware the trotting Ostrich!"
I'd never, ever have thought which
Would be a real concern for me,
As I sit in cafes and libraries.

Heron at Dusk [Haiku]

dusky summer eve:
a heron wades in shallows,
blindly fishing.

Orbit [Haiku]

butterflies orbit
in helter-skelter arcs,
but never bump.

Chital [Lyric Poem]

The Chital at the watering hole
Has one single simple goal:
To drink its fill and then to scat
Before being eaten by some big cat.

Battle Royale [Senryū]

insects unseen:
chaotic bird movement, a
bird battle royale?
