BUTTERFLY
          A dangerous thing.
          Inspirations' fragile wings.
          Metamorphoses.

BARRIER REEF
           Great walls dividing.
           Vast cold deeps from Summer seas.
           "Hail Metropolis!"

LOTUS FLOWER
          Morning--Star-burst--bloom.
          Floral crown on tranquil lake.
          She walks on water.

SEAHORSE
          Pregnant father sways
          Rocking chair to Oceans' gait.
          Champions patience's race.

BOMBYX MORI
          White Mulberry leaves,
          Veins of Univoltine wine.
          Silk, worm's waste of time.

ORCHID
          Soft petals open.
          Easy like wild poetry.
          Medicinal muse.

LAVENDER
          How like a feather
          Dancing meadows' Royal hue.
          Perfumes the twilight.

OWL (Query)
          "Who?" Rather than tweet
          In the dark keenly can see
          All her nameless prey.

DEATH VALLEY
          Akimbo cacti
          Off the scenic highway road
          Flail in Hell's hot suns.

TSUNAMI
          Deaths' devastation.
          Chaos drowns all the petty
          Wars and last concerns.

COMMUNING
          These very mornings
          I awe as the blue ocean drinks
          The sky bleeding gold.

DINOSAUR
          All you have are bones.
          Our flesh once Giants : lies, dust.
          My feelings extinct.

SUNFLOWER
          A golden pinwheel.
          Tall and proud, the face of day,
          Burns bright love's bounty.

POPPY
         Her rouge a deep dark
         pharmaceutical Red to
         kiss your pain away.

THE SWALLOW*  
         Rain's graceful feathers.
         The Spring's swift wisps' arriving
         Two Tailed Brothers' Breeze.

ROSE
          No other fragrance
          But from her kiss--sublime songs
          True Love's red flower.

AGUA
          *Siempre Vivir

          Go quench your thirst and your soul,
          'Cuz Life drinks for free.

IN SPRING
           Orange breasted plume.
           A Robin bird trills and swirls.
           Seasoning her nest.

ASPHODEL SNOW
            Gossamer winter.
            The fractal window panes sigh
            white breath of flowers.

LIGHT-YEARS
             Space is Time is Light
             it's speed can measure eons'
             infinite distance.
