As the bus had backed.

En route to his place daily.

The ocean is a wild beast that I approach cautiously.
I submit to its undertow. It makes me laugh expansively.
I dive in, never turn my back,

Wild Turkey

The crazy turkey
Prancing through the open field
With no fear of death.
He knows the time of the year
Soon he'll be the main course.

Nutty

recalcitrant nut
will not yield its hidden heart
resists invasion
patience gone where is hammer?
walnut obliterated.

Cove Blue

Cold water music
pond nymphs skate soft chord ripples
fireflys flash dance
lily pad tables for two
Catfish play hooky from school

Beware of Mosquitoes

Buzzing mosquito
Celebrates my arrival
With a nice big bite
Skin slathered with pesticide
Will mosses give me a break!

Favourite target
I'm like medium rare steak
Beyond endurance
Miniature vampires eat me
Calamine

A Murder Mystery


Buzzing above me
Whizzing through shadowy flight
Stabbing fangs in skin
Causing welts and itchy bites
Festering plots slay these pests

Weekend Dreams

A fire in the sky
cashing in on weekend dreams,
Shrill peels of laughter 
grabbing his hand with flushed cheeks,
Blinked and woke up; It’s Monday.

Kitten - a Tanka Poem

Kitten - A Tanka Poem

I like my kitten
She's menacing and purring.
She has climbing paws
Jumps hop and climb a lot gladly
Purrs a lot when she's happy

The Tickle Torture

Founded in the Han,

Dynasty and Rome, 'Tickle,

Torture' was penance,

Of nobles, no scar, quick fix,

Salted feet, for goats to lick.

Entropy

Order gives way 
To disorder 
I look at my reflection 
In the mirror 
And believe every word.
