rain drops hit still pond
surface ripples spread outward
tickling frog bellies

Pitter patter paws

A cozy warm place to sleep

Purring up a storm

 Dragonfly, shiny
Windup toy, in flight, you dance
Among the cattails.

screams pierce the night
primeval mating
wise owls winking

taken
                          from henhouse          
                          poached eggs

sun on orange fur
stripes shimmy into coolness
the tiger he rawred*

*my word for his gentle roar

square of nine mirrors
admiring his reflection -
the kitten’s labyrinth

Sneak up on their prey
very silent and deadly
don't get in their way.

the jaguar's tear
slides off his single whisker
clouds do sigh

three offspring
dragged into the river's teeth
one remains

they both stretch
the moment of sorrow lost
life leaps on

In its final soar 
Finds the limb it learned to fly 
Lands, to fly no more

                                  short visit on frozen ground

                                              - not 100% wool

Wild Horses

A woman alone
Watching wild horses gather –
Her stallion set free.

 The tiniest egg
Sanctuary for new life;
Dinner for many.

Through the door, running
Hair flowing magically
Welcomes me, my dog.

mysterious owl
beneath a shimmering moon
who, who, who are you?

The silent owl swoops 
Silhouette on Silver moon
Prey unsuspecting

tornado
on the plain
eats voraciously
cattle stampede


Modified haiku form for Non Traditional poetry contest.

Frogs sing in Japan
too bad they croak in Tennessee
it's geography

Songbirds loose small chirps,
Tiny enough to slip through
Momentary rain.

               first mate ... of rare worth.   ~

Cats on moonlit roofs,
Stilled, watching the city sleep,
Fireflies in their eyes.

March 12, 2018 for  Mick Talbot's Haiku contest: theme "frog"

Border collies
highly intelligent-sometimes
two edged sword

In a hidden glen
         A fawn stands on trembling legs
             Jay broadcasts the news

lavender tendrils 
ripples on depthless water
deer snaps his head up

birdhouse in the wind
stringy light trails of birdseed
discreet squirrels wait

The howl beseeches—
Crying for its true mate; it’s
Not a hungered prowl.

Walk by the water 
See the fish swimming along
Take joy in the moment

To fly with eagles,
Refreshing goal is delight,
As all souls are one.

Wings alight to sky,
Floating feathers on air waves,
Living kites in flight.
