I
The gun flashes white.
The bullet enters the man.
Did he hear the sound?

II
I wrote Haiku Poems
While gulping down Wild Turkey.
Nothing accomplished.

III
A brown leaf falls down,
Twisting, twirling randomly.
Winter will come soon.

IV
Charcoal drawing, yes!
Watercolors not for me.
I love acrylics!

V
I dreamed I was stabbed.
Waking up I saw it was
A black mosquito.

VI
Hamlet dressed in black.
Unable to take action
Was he really mad?

VII
Can our country stand
Yet another sneak attack?
Terrorists abound.

VIII
The old dog looks sad.
We know her days are numbered.
Does she know it too?

IX
Bite into a peach.
Suck on a sweet, plump, nipple.
There must be a God!

X
Raven perched on sill
And it uttered "Nevermore."
Could it be Ed Poe?

XI
Painting is so great.
I find it quite relaxing.
My progress is slow.

XII
Where goest the clouds?
Borne on a swift, swirling wind.
There would I go too.

XIII
Post nine-eleven;
Security is quite tight,
Just as it should be.

XIV
Cats seem indifferent.
Dogs possess no sense of time.
Goldfish are silent.

XV
Some sounds of nature;
Ocean, wind, brook, and forest
Heard when waking up

XVI
Graffiti on walls;
Poets who never made it.
Can some be salvaged?

XVII
Napoleon B.
Wanted to conquer the world,
But found Waterloo.

XVIII
A swift running stream
The blue water is ice cold.
But I jump right in.

XIX
Oriental girls
Reading poetry by moonlight.
Such a charming sight!

XX
See the poor homeless;
See the psycho bag lady;
Good that it's not me!
