Who hops
Around’s
A jot
Unsound:
A bound
Is work
Unwound.
To shirk—
Besmirch
An ant’s
Research—
Demands
More qualms
than alms.

The Grasshopper and the Ant (Trimeter)
Indulgent summertime
Forgives Grasshopper’s mirth—
Professed in guileless rhymes
And jubilating chirps—
But winter sifts the worth
Of planning, its rewards
Residuals from dearth’s
Disintegrating sword.
The tedium that hoards
An Ant’s untimely meal
Makes pieties of chores
And avarice ideal.
Excess of industry’s
Inverse to sympathy.

The Raccoon
Raccoon Raccoon, your shadow
Across the twilit mallow
Was forecast by invention:
Who envisioned your dimensions?
Where is your ashen center
Disturbed to stoke its embers?
Whose elegance there lingers?
What scalpels carved those fingers?
What subterfuge previsioned
Stealth and ringed your tail with ribbons?
When that tail began its swishing
What prodigies of stitching
Or origami sprinked
Its ruling brain with wrinkles?
What rascally connivance
Surpassed poetic license
When first volcanoes clouded
Horizons? Who was shrouded
And who, exposed, discovered
Their true faces to each other?
Raccoon Raccoon, your shadow
Across the twilit mallow
Was forecast by invention:
Who envisioned your dimensions?
