Dobru Utro(Good Morning!) (Tanka For Onelia

DOBRU UTRO
(GOOD MORNING!)

like! pop! pop! popcorn!
children from a caravan
on a beach in Greece
lying on a Persian rug
like a great magic carpet.


********

SEQUEL TO A SQUEAL

First...there was a squeal.
Then...a sequel to the squeal.
Cat making meal
of the tiniest of mice.
Its eyes...shining...bright with death.

*******

PEDANTIC SEAGULL

Armchair atop dump.
Its arms scattered either side.
Now armless...can it
still be seen as an armchair?
Seagull ponders semantics.
