The mudskipper pauses Sensing imminent danger Into the water it skips.

The eagles leap off Challenges by an intruder Confront the threat they must.

Lizard on a tree It catches me by surprise With an aerial glide.

My body signals me Time for medical check up Slim down my wallet

College reunion A case of introducing ourselves to old friends

My friend Dave Bakewell An expert in waterbirds So well-camouflaged.

I am a killer No remorse pricks my conscience Mosquitoes I kill

Forlorn the dead leaves lie All curled up and brittle In death they protest.

The warbler sings So melodious its song Happiness so real.

Black skin yellow flesh Add sugar and soya sauce Heavenly delights.
