it began
when we danced
in the field
that day;
we became
so entranced
with each
other’s display,
we danced
to the splendor
of a beautiful
dream,
and enhanced
our surrender
to life’s
grander scheme

turkeys (shadorma)
some turkeys
brutally attack
others to
establish
their god-given mating rights–
like real turkeys

Limerick 36
A young racist rabbit named Frown
Was putting non-white bunnies down,
But he altered his views
As he hopped in their shoes
In the spring, when his fur turned to brown.

in the dark (senryu)
some of us will try
to find the light, not knowing
that the light finds us

ice tumbles downstream
in the dark river like spilled
whiskey on the rocks

Look Up (archives)
Beyond our
Earthen carousel,
The stars,
In vast array,
Light up
Our cosmic carnival–
The twinkling
Milky Way.
The fairway
Teems with stars,
Perhaps
Five hundred
Billion strong;
Look up
And see the galaxy–
It’s open
All night long!

Limerick 35
A self-centered woodchuck named Ben
Stays aloof from his ex-girlfriend,
But if it’s time to mate,
He will not hesitate
To just let himself in to her den

spring (senryu)
whatever we’ve left
out on the lawn last fall now
comes back to haunt us

peaceful protest (shadorma)
docile deer
occupy the road
in peaceful
protest of
the human exploitation
of their deer trails
