Milky Moonlight [Haiku]

milky moonlight
paints all things pale --
all but the shadows

Late Day Sun [Haiku]

late day sunlight
fires the yellow temple top
while shadows harden

Quick Peek [Kyōka]

a weaver
pokes its head from the nest,
looks both ways,
& decides to stay in.
i know the feeling.

Spawning Clouds [Haiku]

clouds rise like smoke 
from turbulent cascades --
ghosts ascending

Sunset Waters [Haiku]

jagged silver stripes
shine in the flooded jungle
at sunset

Flood [Haiku]

the river sprawls,
overrunning its banks:
forest, now bayou

Monkey-in-Training [Haiku]

baby monkey
practices solo branch-work
low to the ground

Ever Conspicuous [Haiku]

even in tall grass,
the peacock stands out;
its neck metal blue

Strut [Haiku]

amorous pigeon
makes a mick jagger dance,
and he scores!

The Palace that Was [Senryū]

crumbling ruins
sit amid the pasturelands. 
that's progress.
