highway parts landscape;
butterflies jink and loiter
as cars speed through.

Stalker [Kyōka]
stealthy raccoon
stalks up on trashcans -
as lion to gazelle.
having reached its target,
sends lid clattering down.

Cold Bayou [Haiku]
gators sleep:
buried in muddy banks;
a lonely bird flies.

PROMPT: Animal
The Platypus. A motley assortment of elements with unexpectedly poor flight characteristics that yet can thrive in multiple environments.

Patience [Senryū]

line by line, and then waits;
I watch for two minutes.

Alone in the Cold [Haiku]
Beetle [Lyric Poem]
A Beetle that was built like a tank
Crawled over a blazing riverbank
Now as any sane one would think
It should head straight for the drink
To cool off its little ole toes.
But as astute readers will know,
It hasn't really got any toes,
So, it can walk hot sands real slow.

River Taco [Lyric Poem]
We kayak where lives Hippopotamus,
And hope it isn't submerged, a-bottom us.
With kayak a quite crunchy hard shell --
Us: savory filling that screams and yells, --
We'll be a three-bite river taco to hell.
