Lonely dragon sits,
ringed by cold steel artifice,
in our modern world.

One of my children.

Today, haiku reads
backwards yet, and yet backwards
reads haiku today.

Today, haiku reads
backwards yet, and yet backwards
reads haiku today. Okay, that's clever! The wind just whispers, as if afraid to reveal where it's been today.
