stand and deliver
your money or your life
maybe your wife?

small alien head
two big weapons for beating
he looks familiar

---

Her name was Bertha.
Dressed in hides, smeared with bear grease.
He could not resist.

---

i always harden
when my feet touch the sweet earth
sewing my oats

---

foggy hangover
saint patrick spotted a snake
he don't drink no more

a paper tiger
scary except for the grin
of a Cheshire Cat

---

a jackal stare-down
lost my human proportion
hesitant retreat

---

your face is eclipsed
shadow bands reveal the joy
this message of love

---

asian eyes perplex
the silly grimace cutely
stumps haiku dojo

---

a killer's face
that I made in a mirror
it's the real me, grrr!

Sometimes the poet
in slovenly bovine scenes
finds peace among noise

---

Used to get invites,
to gallery openings,
where I drank too much.

---

photo cow chews grass
gives a dirty look to man
through the dimensions

---

oblivious smoke
cow leaves shrooms in fields azure
divine hindu shit

---

the two of us
watching the world go by
and each his own cud

pride and aggression
the nature of a dragon
much to overcome

---

wisdom well guarded
this pearl is so hard to find
chasing my tail

---

self created
of everything and nothing
it unto itself

---

fury spits fury
dance immortal not to end
fire-water tangle

---

have: fiery meatball
need: linguini, romano
wine and crusty loaf

a crime of violet
head bowed, reaching for the sky
wings of surrender

---

a bleeding blossom
her kiss resistant flower
mary shelley's weed

---

Carmine temptress
A siren with wings unfolded
Call for her bidding.

---

on a rare day of snow
i held a cyclamen loosely
leaving childhood behind

---

tiny green creature
peeking bravely from your ship
of purple petals
