Stone Pines [Haiku]

stunted pines
grow from the granite
green and thick

Headwaters [Haiku]

atop the cascade
sits a still pool,
burbling

Not a Tree Out of Place [Haiku]

across the lake
the pines stand straight
as hairs on end

Naked Days [Haiku]

trees stripped bare -
the walker, once hidden,
is exposed to sky

Sneaking Heron [Haiku]

on one leg,
the sneaking heron
eyes the water

Tulip Poplar [Haiku]

a tulip poplar 
stands beside the lake
in the warm sun

Feeding Geese [Haiku]

two geese feed
around a bench long
vacated

Cold Ducks [Haiku]

lakeshore ducks
with heads turtle-tucked
against autumn winds
