“Anguish” [Haiku]

“Anguish” by August Friedrich Albrecht Schenck (1878)
mother bleats a cloud,
standing over its dead lamb --
ringed by a murder 

Lizard Look [Haiku]

a lizard slinks
up to the stone's edge,
turning an eye on me

Fuchsia Fuchsia [Haiku]

in the night forest,
light catches two flowers:
Fuchsia in fuchsia

Hands of Hanuman [Haiku]

Hanuman stands:
one club hand & one hand of
pacification

Spines Aglow [Haiku]

the frilly spines
of an iguana catch light,
marring camo

Puddle Mirror [Haiku]

the puddle reflects
clouds, mountains, and sky
more vivid than truth
