three unlikely pals
making secret plans
for incredible journeys
beyond the farm lands

Bench (shadorma)
There’s a bench
I use for thinking,
Tucked neatly
In the trees,
Where chimes are always tinkling
Sweetly in the breeze

lavender mist
a fog rises up
from the waters,
dawn lights it up
from behind,
the morning
is kissed by this
lavender mist,
and it gives
to me true
peace of mind

creeks and clouds (archives)
creeks and clouds
cut from the same cloth
with different points of view
comparable in composition
yet contrary in composure
the creek is quite laid-back
to the point of being lazy
while the clouds are always
up in the air over something

dying to live (senryu)
some say that it takes
a near-death experience
to begin living

shot of the day 8/23/22
some see angry gods
in a thunderstorm’s advance,
and some see mother nature
simply watering her plants

We Meet Again
Yes, I remember you, my dear–
How could I forget?
Your voice is a babbling brook
To my ears,
Your beauty is soothing
To my eyes,
Your fragrance still lingers
In my nostrils,
And your name is on the tip
Of my tongue.

Limerick 41
A self conscious frog known as Clyde
Had never once seen his backside,
So he asked his mate Clare,
“How’s my camo back there?”
“I think it’s spot on,” she replied.

Sunflower Power
Sunflowers
Have powers
That I
Can’t resist;
They coax me
To smile–
In fact,
They insist.

cool crane (etheree)
an
oddly
lanky crane
was often teased
by the shorter birds;
they called him ichabod,
stilts, or a walking beanpole,
but with a wingspan of six feet
and a pair of laughably long legs,
he rose above it and took it in stride
