A melody on parchment

delighting unknown strangers
while you ignore him

The Boss - Maybe Tomorrow
With the boss pulling and the workers pushing, with the Square Wheels on the wagon and the round wheels in it:
The boss views the path.
Roll forward faster better.
Maybe tomorrow...

Fleas On Noah's Ark
Two fleas are jumpig
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
For warm nest looking.
Two fleas are dreaming
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
A warm nest enjoying.
Two fleas are arriving
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
At Ararat’s mountain.
Their trip is ending
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
And starts a novel jumping

An Animal Haiku Trilogy
Bumblebees buzzing...
Erie irritating sounds:
“Ouch”! bees also sting...
Confined to his bowl,
A fish, seemingly talking,
Jumps! wiggling free...
Penguins standing proud,
Poised as if to soon take flight,
Flap their wings…then…splash!
