Sumatran Tiger
Through the forests of Sumatra
Through the dark and sweaty jungle
Proud and fearless pads the tiger
Pads through bamboo, palm, liana
Powerfully swims across the water
Webbed feet pounding...

Premium Member Drowsy Notes
Waiting time
Loiters long;
Tentative tact

Hazy complaints
Ashy sky blurring;
Smoky air blots

Drowsy notes
Morning haze floods;
Cranky moods

~~~~~~~~~


Burning smog
Hazy indiscretions;
Madness percolates

~~~~~~~~~


Sad and sorry
Same old story;
Sooty somehow

~~~~~~~~~


Cash and...

Morning arrives;
Mystic voice

Dawn speaks
Fond sighs;
Haze loiters

Sun-block hazy
Fuzzy logic;
Sumatra fires

Ashy contrast
Smoky smelly;
Foreign stench permeates

~~~~~~~~~


Hazy shades
Photoshop contrast;
Smoky air

~~~~~~~~~


Deeper meaning
Beyond stuff;
Profiteering woes

~~~~~~~~~


Nero's antics
Witty wise;
Hazy surprise

~~~~~~~~~


Crash and burn
No...
