“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.

Summer clouds to sky /

Sand to beach, water to sea /

Embrace your beauty.

Bowl

A bowl of berries /

Picked between raindrops.

“Across the face”

Across the face

Bee collects pollen /

Across the sunflower’s face. /

Heat is time rising.
