*Red Savannah*

big red savannah
around the Spanish mansion:
whirlwind near a cliff

*Chlorine*

Labyrinth and like Amerind
Sushi rolls not so choosy
Swimming pool and jacuzzi
Plasticky chlorine smells
Saunas and mighty bells

Harvest

*Silly Rabbits*

Hi, silly rabbits!
You have white, brown, and black fur
on your fat bodies.

*A Crow Flies*

a crow flies towards
yonder coniferous tree:
unraining grey skies

*Blue Rose Garden*

big blue rose garden
around the Spanish mansion:
smell of new bark mulch

*Red, Orange, Yellow*

Red, Orange, Yellow
Summer Thai temple days mellow
Sweet Duck on East Hastings Street Menus
Philosophical nighttime venues
After speculative fiction movies
Born in the time of being groovy
We the Japanesque marshmallows

*Lychee in Syrup on Ice*

Lychee in Syrup on Ice
Not everyone in East Van eats rice
Back in Tōkyō are Rāmen-Ya
Offices like temples of Maya
Isla Lulu platter-sized hamburgers
Kitsilano condo boiled cauliflowers

*Childhood Number 5*

Illuminares Lantern Festival
Trout Lake and snowcapped mountains
Vintage books and clothes
East Van character homes
Where people are not drones
Cafés and chow mein are a carnival
Esperanto meetings no rival
Downtown and Gastown excursions
Holistic Europe-Asia confusions

Viktor Nonong Medrano (2020-06-03)


*Swedish Furniture and Hot Chocolate*

Never had Rose Hip Soup
Tasted an IKEA Almond Cake
Sitting at the handsome dock
Faraway Lake Sammamish gawk
Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate Grande
Lulu Island Flatlander break
Every day like a Chinese Donut Tuesday

Viktor Nonong Medrano (2020-06-03)


*Cooked Bamboo Shoots*

Cooked Bamboo Shoots
A Korean Picasso
Forever green Esperanto
Never been to Toronto
A tree with contorted roots
A fine marbled _teraso_
Vietnamese calligraphy
Imaginary geography
A basket of fruits

Viktor Nonong Medrano (2020-06-02)


*Mugicha and Pizza*

Cold Mugicha (or Barley Tea)
And Pizza Slice (or Mini Pan Pizza)
At the corner convenience store
In the Pandemic Genie Folklore
Flashbacks of Harajuku (and Ginza)
Now back here in the Big North
Glee and Sorrow gushing forth

Viktor Nonong Medrano (2020-06-01)


*Black Tea Latte*

Black Tea Latte
With Coconut Milk
From the corner Café
My tuque not of Silk
A walk in the green grove
Where crows and seagulls rove
A venerable verdant temple
Life not being so simple
A stray newspaper with a ripple
