“Morning fog”

Morning fog

Sun wears morning fog, /

peeks from behind damp fall trees. /

Light and thoughts refract.

“Shadow”

Shadow

Shadow has no grip, /

but can hold you anyway, /

and never release.

I am the Corgi. /

Scratch me now, human.

Dreams await relief.

“The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.

“Window flower”

Window flower

Peeking through the glass, /

Orchid searches for the sun, /

seeking assurance.
