A snake slides out, lanky and lean,
With glinting eyes, evil and mean,
And that sinister grin–
Yet I know that his sin
Was just being born serpentine

wee squirrel (shadorma)
wee squirrel,
won’t you let me win
this game of
hide and seek?
all i want to do is pinch
your furry li’l cheek

lost leaders (senryu)
when we choose leaders
who can’t clearly see the way
we’re already lost

haiku 141
two crows in the sun–
black ink, so carelessly spilled
on the paper snow

birds of a feather (tanka)
our darker side is
mostly hidden from our view
yet, it can be known–
we need only to observe
the other birds in our flock
