Puddle Mirror [Haiku]

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

Bull Street [Senryū]

the bull doesn't feign stealth,
yet gets close enough to make
shoppers poop themselves

Cold Stone [Haiku]

winter: stone sculpture
of snuggled infant & mother;
my bones grow cold

Cockscomb Echo [Haiku]

cockscomb flowers
stand like brains on a stick;
nature echoes strangely

Ancient Stupas [Haiku]

ancient stupas:
worn, pocked, and chipped;
age makes character

No Egret [Haiku]

the egret walks
away from a lone cow that's
too still to stir bugs
