Dewey Asian-Form

Dewey's Haiku
clouds slide
under branches
wet-foot moon


Two Ways to Taunt Death
Dewey’s friend posted re.
an insulting yawn—
his parting kiss for death.
Dewey posted re.
how it pricks them on
to run naked in the woods.


Blab-y Poets

Poets do write about their family
members, but it seems indiscreet—
not to say smarmy.


Is it discreet for Dewey to post poems 
celebrating their own solitary self-enjoyment?—
Kitschy for sure!

Dewey’s Tanka
Dewey child 
wanders out on the edge of town 
into a field of sunflowers—
comfortable clearing—take off
shoes, shirt, pants, socks, underwear


Dewey's Senryu
foot on edge
of porcelain bathtub—Dewey
cutting their toenails
