early Spring seed pods
of Red Maple hold tight
- patiently —
til one day in late Spring:
they’ll drop, spin, and fly.

Fogless Fog [Haiku]
white blossoms
seen through still bare trees:
looks like fog, sans fog.

its color, pale yellow —

Condemned [Free Verse]
Condemnation placard
Stapled to the church door
With the commanding tone
Of Luther’s notice.
The Condemned has stately bones
But its skin and viscera
Are in shambles.
Sun pierces stained glass,
Bathing dirty surfaces
With bright color,
But the dust and rat shit
Remain to create a
Miasma within.
One day a wrecking ball
Will make good on the
Condemnation.

Foot-tapping Seagull [Kyōka]
a Seagull stands
at a respectful distance
from a fish stall,
waiting for the fishmonger
to do the right thing.
