Dogs are my joy
I've loved them all my life,
So why am I about to say they always give me strife?
The times I've started something
Raced to get it done
And then, as I'm finishing
Comes my four-legged son.
To while away the minutes, leaving
Inferred jobs undone.
Oh, how I love him, my special Mickey-boy,
Now I'll distract him right back and throw his favourite toy!

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
