Fortress [Senryū]

ancient fortress:
tree grows through cracks;
the tree will win.

Seaside Sunset [Haiku]

red-hot steel glow:
sun crawls toward
wine-dark seas.

Edge of Weather [Haiku]

Winter day:
bright sunlight at cloud's end --
glassy river.

Rain Strike [Haiku]

rain strike seen
in ripples on the pond
before felt on skin.

Foresight [Senryū]

from the hilltop,
Spring downpour creeps nearer;
me, sans raingear.

Misty Falls [Haiku]

mid-Summer:
I pause under misty falls,
'til I feel the Spring.

Cloud Retreat [Haiku]

clouds retreat
out of the valley:
dreamworld made real.

Summer Fishing [Haiku]

long-tailed boat
chugs down the buoy-line:
Summer fishing.

Winter Song [Haiku]

dry leaf rattle:
shaken by a steady breeze:
Winter song.

In Its Time [Senryū]

impatient child
gives pollen fluff a blow;
it does not yield.
